NNBS Leveled Only Thread

Tired of these loud trail grapps, so Iv been thinking of either getting a quieter 305/55s or just taking the level off and going back to 275/55s when I need new tires in the next few months

Trails do get loud when the get past half worn starting to drive me a little crazy too.
 
I've had both Terra Graps and Trail Graps and I'd honestly put up with the noise of the Trails just for the look. Terra Graps are awesome tires though, I got ~45,000 miles out of mine.
 
3.5 inch leveling kit and stock block in the back
35-12.50-17 toyo m/t
nbs gmc 17's
trimmed the plastic a little.

3" leveling kit gives me 1" difference, then removing the 1.25" block would net me 2.25" difference. Just the look I'm going for.

I fux with Cali lean.
 
Out of curiosity, why do some people have to trim and some people don't with the TGC 2.5"? Even with the exact same tires, is it just the variation pre-leveled height and personal preference to tolerate a little rubbing?

I've seen and read it's less (to no) cutting with the stock wheels and 33" than it is with say 20x10's and a negative off-set, is this a true statement? Also anyone on here rock a leveled NNBS 1500, with 22x10s?

I highly dislike gmfs, so I refuse to look there, so any guidance answers from here would be appreciated.

v/r,
