The only thing I don’t understand, ready lift claims on their site that you can install up to a 295/60 20. So the 285/65 20 wouldn’t fit??
It will fit for sure, I think it’s more of a question on if there is any rubbing at all and that they are not to skinny. Because the 295/65/20 are a bit wider but a bit shorter. It’s a tough decision lol at least for me. I’m so dang indecisive.

I also think it depends on what tire you go with. Every tire is slightly different. I like the look of the RG but not sure how they ride.

I'm thinking about a set of Fuel 20x9 +20MM Blitz Dark Tint wheels with 275/65R20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2 Load SL tires. I much prefer the look of the Nitto Ridge Grapplers, but I really don't want to go with 10 ply tiree. These are the only decent tires I can find which are Load SL. Anyone know of any other good looking/driving tires which would work well with a 2" level that are not Load E that are in this size range?

Not available in these sizes in anything but Load E from what I could find. If I'm wrong please let me know.
You’re right. My bad. It is an E at 275. I currently have a 285/60 KO2 and they have been great. But E load also.

Thanks. I'm just trying to keep overall weight and rotating mass down since I'm not really doing any serious off-roading, towing or hauling with the truck. I've had KO2's on two other trucks and liked everything about them except wet traction. If I could get a Load C or D, I'd go with them on my PowerBoost.

I currently run KO2 and love them. Out of curiosity, why not get a load range e?

It’s debatable on if a 295/60 or 285/65 is bigger. The 295/60 is 34x11.6 and the 285/65 is 34.6x11.2. So the 295 is a 1/2” shorter but also a 1/2” wider
Also, ready lift says on a 20x9 wheel and the OEM wheels are 8.5 wider.
I’m starting to lean towards the 275/65 and make sure they fit easily. Hopefully they don’t look too narrow.
My biggest issue is that I don’t want any rubbing. Obviously I’d like to get the biggest tire possible, but I don’t wanna mess with any rubbing.

I just saw that Ridge Grappler has a 305/55/20 in a SL load so the ride quality would be better, but they are a very wide and kinda short tire compared to the others we have been talking about. All the others are E rated though. Hmmmm

This truck is running 305/55 on a 2” level. Looks pretty good. I do agree, however, that a taller tire would fill out the wheel wells better.

Thanks for the picture! Definitely not bad, but I do think a taller tire would look better after seeing the picture. Guess it just depends on what look someone is going for.

I've got a '21 Platinum coming in a few weeks and trying to decide on a tire size. Planning on doing a 2" level and want to stay with OEM Wheels. Previously I've run 285/60 r20 BFG KO2's, but was considering other options of 275/65 r20 or 285/65 r20. Has anyone got pictures of any of these set ups on their 2021?

Just had the 2 inch Ready Lift level with 285/65 Ridge Grapplers on the 20 inch OEM wheels installed yesterday. Will post some pictures today for you when I can. I like the height of the 285/65 @ 34.80 inches tall in Ridge Grapplers. Definitely looks to have a little more sidewall vs the 295/60 but both look great.

Pictures added. As many have others said, no rubbing and no trimming.

What color is your platinum? Will be very helpful to see your pictures when you get a chance!

Has anyone experienced any issues with any of the sensors or automation components? Also for the first time in as long as I can remember I’ve got a slight concern about the added wear and tear on the additional components, u joints wheel bearings etc. Anyone else share these concerns?
