Just got an 05 ccsb, am looking to level it in the front and put some wheels and tires under it. What im wondering is what the right size of wheels and tires to make it look right and still drive close to how it does on stock suspension? Am thinkin that i would like to stay on 17in rims. Maybe 295's or 305's dont really know

You can normally get 315s on there without much rubbing issues (full wheel deflection and a good size bump may contact. I found with that set-up my truck drove much like a stock truck. However, for the BFG 315s, they only are available in D rating, not E. While the weight rating is the same as a E tire, the sidewall flex is more under heavy loads. If you plan on towing heavy alot, I would stick with E rated tires. And some have had issues with Death Wobble and the BFG 315 tires. If you do a search on this website, you will see alot of discussion about the Death Wobble...

I like the set up in my sig, D-load tires but i only tow around toys. Nothing major.

Just bought some 08 dodge polished aluminum wheels. Thinking of going with 295 Nitto Terra Grapplers on stock suspension? Anyone out there ran this and have any pics??? Later maybe a leveling kit, any pics of this too???

I have nitto 295's on stock suspension and wheels. I have never had any issues with rubbing. It is a 05 CC SB.

Do you have to use longer shocks with the leveling kits or just the spacers and away you go? Also, what is the minimum wheel backspacing with the leveling kit that you need to use?

aggie06

You ca use stock shocks, but it os recommended that you upgrade to a longer version. As for the other question, I am not sure. I plan on running stock rims for now, and possibly H2's if I can find a deal on some. Here are some pics.

My dad had the spacer block leveling kit and the truck seemed to ride rougher and steer worse, so he switched to the spring/shock leveling kit and it drives like stock again on 35's, when i can afford a leveling kit it is what i am going to do

aggie06, your grey ccsb on alloy wheels and 295's will be identical to mine when i get it done and im lookin forward to it now, ur truck looks great

I have a hell bent steel leveling kit with 295/70/17 toyo M/T. the ride is no different than stock,and you could fit a 315 if you wanted. You don't have to spend the big money for new springs and shocks when a spacer will work fine, with same shocks.

Im running the TGC 2" leveling kit and 35" toyo mts on stock wheels and no rub!!

ill see how it looks with 295's on stock suspension then take a look at leveling kits

I ran 295s on stock suspension for a while, but i like the look of the leveling kit

The stock shocks will top when going over payment drop-offs such as frost heaves for those that have them. Quite a jolt - and you won't like that. Getting Bielstein shocks helps a lot both in eliminating the topping and general ride improvement.

Get the bilstein shocks- like $75 a piece

Get sway bar spacers- call around, I'd try Lorenz or put a 'want to buy' ad on here. You need them with the coil spacer and i bet you can get some for under $100 new. Or you could make some out of square tubing I've seen people do this.

Look for some H2 Take offs with 315's.


If you go aftermarket wheels look for backspacing around 5.5-5.75. H2's are around 5.5.
