- Lifted Silverado mods . we did a norcal modification on my 2016 Silverado . It sits on 20x12x-44 33s tall tires and a level kit. The truck was rubbing when I turned so I cut some metal out of the fire wall, to get a little more room.wit no trim plate.
Anyone that has owned or worked on a later model GM truck can attest to the tire clearance limitations from the squared off fenders. While installing a lift is a common solution, even then clearance can be limited and running wider wheels and more aggressive offsets may still cause clearance issues when turning the wheel tightly or cycling the suspension during offroad use.
I have a 3 inch leveling kit on my 14 silverado wheel size 33x12.5x22 -44 offset. Did the nor cal mod and trimmed a little bit from my front bumpers. I can do a u turn both sides with no rubbing. I also can back in full lock both ways no rubbing 🙌🏼. Your video was spot on what I needed.
This video kinda drove me nuts. I really wanted to foreman this project😂
Just put inch one and a half inch spacers on my 2023 Silverado half ton and it rubs on the inside of the wheel well. we’re doing this mod eliminate the rub?
Yes, I believe so
What is make / model on your tires brother, your truck looks really nice!
Why did you take off that bottom bolt and then grind something off in the front ?
Were you able to put the black plastic trim piece back on?
Roughly how many inches of clearance do you think you gained?
It gains about 2” depending on how much you cut.
Rim and tire size an also brand of wheels?
What did you use to spray on the fresh cut metal to prevent rust?
Undercoating
I have some 22s on 33 in. mud wheels and I just added 2 in. spacers but i can’t drive the truck because it rubs really bad. Do you think doing this will work or should I just send the spacers back
im sure it would help. how wide are the tires and what's the offset?
I also have the same setup but I haven’t put it on yet I just ordered a 3.5 lift kit I’m wanting to say they are -44 offset do you think that will rub to hard
@@hunterc.4474 with an 3.5 lift , I wouldn’t think it would rub.
@Tyler Deane i have the same setup and it does rub with a 3.5 inch lift
@@baynmods it will rub. I have a 6 inch lift and I’m rubbing badly with 35s…
Did you had to trim the black plastic corner piece of the bumper? Thansk
No
What kind of screws were they ? Self tappers
Yes ! Pan head Tek screws
@@baynmods 👍
Does it rub on any of the control arms?
I have not noticed it rubbing, but them Auttors run a little narrow.
This is the worst way to do a nor cal if you have a welder. Do not do this. Only cut from the bottom and reweld if you have a welder.
If you don’t I understand why you have to do it this way.
