04 Z-71 Tires99SilveradoRob 09-09-2007, 08:00 PM When I bought my 04 Reg Cab z-71 Silverado, it had the stock 17"rims with 285/70(or possibly 75??) BFG All-Terrains. But, the previous owner had cranked the torsion bars almost all the way so the front was level. The ride quality was horrible and I knew that doing that is no good for the front end so I lowered the front back down to stock but also put on a set of 20" wheels with a smaller tire. I am getting ready to put the All-Terrains back on but I wanted to make sure they will not rub with the front back down to stock level. If anything, I would get the torsion keys to level out the front but I was going to try to not do that if it is not needed. Thanks for the help. knogoodidleft 09-09-2007, 08:04 PM you mean your putting the stock rims/tires back on? they wont rub if you got the bars back to stock location 99SilveradoRob 09-09-2007, 08:39 PM Well they are the stock rims but the tires are aftermarket and larger than what comes stock. I was under the impression that having the front end at stock level was going to make this larger size tire rub? I am not sure because the only time that those tires were on the truck was when the front end was higher than what is the stock setting. bigbadram51 09-10-2007, 02:31 AM you shouldnt rub to bad with stock wheels and only a 285, nothing a little trimming wont fix silverado122775 09-10-2007, 08:45 AM 32" tire is about as tall as you can go on a stock lift without modification. 285 is about as wide as you can go before it starts to rub on the turns. abaird 09-10-2007, 01:47 PM Cranking the torsion bars is not always a bad thing. That is how ride height is established. But if you start messing with them, your alignment angles change. I raised the front on my 03 because it didn't sit level by using the torsion bars but it was sitting on an alignment rack when I did it. Since you had yours up and now back down you may want to get that checked. 99SilveradoRob 09-10-2007, 05:58 PM When I dropped the front back down to stock, I immediately went for an alignment. It looked like the wheels were cutting the pavement because of the change and also because the 20" wheels I put on were wider than the stock wheels. But thanks for looking out. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
