The 2023+ Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 Bison is an incredible off-road machine, built from the factory to tackle challenging terrain. But if you’re looking to maximize its potential and achieve an even more aggressive stance and capability, upgrading to 35″ tires is a common aspiration. These larger tires offer increased ground clearance and a dominant look, allowing you to confidently approach more difficult obstacles. Unfortunately, while the ZR2 Bison is capable, the factory setup isn’t designed with sufficient clearance for 35″ tires. Many owners quickly discover that upsizing from the stock tire size leads to frustrating rubbing, limited suspension travel, and even potential damage, especially when pushing the truck in dynamic off-road situations.

That’s where the AEV 35″ Tire Clearance Kit comes in. Engineered specifically for your 2023+ Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 Bison, this comprehensive kit provides the essential components to safely and confidently run 35″ tires when paired with the AEV Salta XR Wheel or any 17×8.5 +12ET wheel offset.

The factory-installed AEV wheels work exceptionally well with factory-sized tires, but packaging taller, wider 35” tires requires less offset to provide adequate clearance for steering and suspension components, as well as the frame itself. The aftermarket AEV Salta XR Wheel was specifically optimized for this purpose, helping maximize tire clearance while maintaining proper fitment and functionality.

The low lift height of the AEV 35″ tire clearance kit prevents exceeding allowable ball joint and CV angles, unlike many taller aftermarket suspension kits on the market. The kit includes a 1″ Body Lift and Suspension Kit which features 1/2″ inch Body and Bed Spacers and a 1/2″ inch Strut Spacer for necessary controlled lift. In the rear, a 3″ inch Rear Spring Spacer replaces the OEM 2″ inch spacer. Crucially, the kit also provides precision-engineered brackets, accurate trim templates, and integrated closeout panels. With these components working together, your larger 35″ tires gain the necessary space to rotate, steer, and flex through the full range of suspension travel without rubbing or causing damage to your vehicle, even during demanding off-road use.

AEV’s commitment to OEM quality in the aftermarket means this kit integrates seamlessly with your truck. We’ve carefully selected materials that closely match your Silverado’s OEM plastics and finishes. Bracket and spacer components are robust A36 Steel with durable Zinc and E-Coat. The closeout panels are made from ABS Plastic designed to blend with factory flares and plastics. Rear lift blocks are cast iron, and all included hardware is OEM-grade. The result is a professional, integrated appearance paired with the enhanced clearance required for the rugged performance you demand from your ZR2 Bison.
