    Well have 2013 DCLB 4x4, tried putting rockstar 2s with Duratracs 275/65-18 on today no lift- had rub.
    Ordered 5100s front and rear delivering tomorrow A.m., if I set the fronts for 1.75- should that fix my rub problem and will it look level( or do I need something else)? Does the TSB ( rear leaf)apply to 2013 model, or was that part of production in 2013? Thanks

    265/65/18 is as large as you will go without rubbing. May have to trim a little. Suggest you go to the wheels and tires section for some better info.

    How did the lift/tires work out?

    I am contemplating the same setup.

    It worked well. Ride is great. Little trimming in the aft of front wheel well. Don't judge, pulling the bull bar off today.

    I had those same size tires on my 05 AC with 5100s at 2.5 up front and still had to trim some plastic liner in front of the wheel. Cab mount was OK. The front of the wheel well liner is somewhat different on the 12s and up so IIRC people had removed the little flap thing in that area. If you go 2.5 then UCAs will get the cater back so it doesn't drive all twitchy feeling. I only went 1.75 on the 08 RC but don't have 18s, just staying with 16s and running 265/70/16 tires this time. Truck will look really good without the bull bar.............Here's a pic of my old ride with the Duratracs.
