Something I recently learned....

NGE, I want to put 285's on a '09 2500 4wd. They are 33", I am told the front will rub when turning. Any recommendation as to leveling or lift kit? What brand? Anyone else with knowledge chime in please.

When I first got my truck I went with 285's on 16x10's and they rubbed in corners and driveways. I ran the stock torsions all the way up and it was close, but I swapped the keys out and got that extra bit of clearance. Ran it that way for 80K and then went with a 6" lift and 35's. You can get the keys at the dealer, or even online (or from NGE's buddy apparently) and it's really not a tough job to do if you're mechanically inclined.

I have a set of brand new set of GM keys (the one's you'll need) if you are interested. If not, I'll return them.

Kinda different application but years ago I stuffed 33" BFGs on my 1500HD. They rubbed on the washer fluid tank and on the fender liner. I cranked the piss out of the bars and it worked better. Shortly after I ended up putting 4" spindles on it and blocked the rear 2".

My 07.5 rubbed with 35s with a 6" lift. Just on the fender liner though.. A little trimming solved that issue.

I'd def go with the GM Keys. The aftermarket keys look like crap compared to the stock ones and I've read countless threads about the aftermarket keys failing. When you buy a CST or Cognito lift, they come with GM 1500 keys.
