I finally got my truck back and I am loving it! It is a 2013 CCSB 2500 4x4 G56. I had the Carli Commuter 2.0 installed with the torsion sway bar, fox shocks, rear add a packs, high clearance control arms, synergy steering linkage, Readhead Steering Gears steering box and a Fox steering stabilizer. It steers great and rides even better going down the road! Well worth the investment!! Also i had a previous vibration that ended up being a bent drive shaft. Up next will be wheels (not sure which but will be 18's and bronze) tires (Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35 or 37's not sure exactly) and Amp Research Power XL side steps!

I'm glad to see you like it! Go with the 37s. You spent the extra money on the high clearance arms, might as well use them!

 

[jyandrick01]

haha yeah that is what I was thinking but I am still not sure about it. I don't want to have to regear or risk damaging any gears or the transmission. Then it creates another question of staying with 18's and doing 37's or doing 20's and 37's haha. oh the problems I have created. You guys at CJC Offroad have been great with answering all of my questions and helping me with my build!!

18s and 37s for sure. I don't think I'd worry about 37s, you might just have to actually use 1st gear sometimes.

 

[jyandrick01]

Wait what!? I have a 1st gear???? hahahaha

 

[the man in black]

It is easy to forget but yes the g56 does have 6 forward gears.

 

[jyandrick01]

haha so on a 18x9 do i run a 37x11.5?

 

[the man in black]

Personally I've always been a small wheel big tire guy. I guess it's because I grew up around 16s on 38s or 44s lol. But to each their own.

 

[BR1]

don't go any size on 20's. tires are more money and ride like a$$. go with the 37's, its like having a 4.10 auto setup. also, I thought 2013 2500 had the newer front end with the radius arms? also, my fox/carli had a spacer on the shock tower, just curious why yours doesn't?

 

[the man in black]

2013 3500 had the new frame/suspension. 2500s didn't get new frame/suspension until 2014.

 

[BR1]

ahhhh, i thought it was the other way around.

 

[str8t six]

i know this might be hard to differentiate, but how big of a difference would you say the rear add a packs made in the ride? im also running fox 2.0

 

[jyandrick01]

@str8t six They help keep the rear feel more planted and alot less hopping around. Well worth the money. I'll be running 18's and Nitto Ridge Grappler 37's. I just need to find some bronze wheels I like and then decide if i want to run 37x12.5 or 37x 11.5. The wheels will be an 18x9

 

[BR1]

run the 13.5's. my 12.5 look too narrow IMO

 

[jyandrick01]

i don't want to go that wide.

 

[str8t six]

Thanks. There are some bronze wheels for sale in the classifieds.

Im in the market for bronze wheels too! We need to start a bronze only thread haha. I am wanting to go with 17's on 37's, just trying to figure out the offset/bs issues.

Are the high clearance arms a must for 37's? I dont have them on my Carli 2.0 kit, as I just have 35's right now, but when I make the switch I am curious about those and if I need them or not. And re-gearing since I have the weak 68rfe 3.42's

Just put on 37's on 17's here. You will need +18mm or more offset unless you start to gut the fenders. My wheels are +18mm (5.450" backspacing). Glad someone else had an add-apack - I added 1" block + the add-a-pack to get the proper rake.

If you're unsure on 37x12.50's get 35x12.50's for peace of mind. Only 1.5" difference overall. I'm going to run a set of these 37's then see if I want to go back smaller next around

Looks good! Do you have any pics down the side, to show the offset? I have +12 (5.5bs) now and they stick out quite a bit more than I expected. I am currently on 35x12.5's as well and they only ever measured to 34 at most, now at 33..
