Rancho 4" installed!!!

Jacob Sroda · February 4, 2017

Hey Texas Sandman, I would think you would be ok as long as those stock rims have a good bit of positive offset. Mine are +44 I believe. My tires are very close to my front bumper so you might have a tiny rub on your front bumper or you might clear them. Every truck is different and varies just enough. Those tires would only be about a 1/2 inch taller than mine so I can't say for sure if they would fit.

Thanks Jacob, I guess I'll have to go find a place to test fit one first and if it doesn't I'll go to the 275/65

I just installed the rough county 3.5 inch lift in mine and I was wondering if I could run 35x12.5/20s any thoughts? I have procomp metal mulish 20x9 with 0 offset. Thanks guys!!

Probably could run them, but most likely you'll be trimming. My Rancho 4" is actually a full 5" of spindle lift, and I have 35's with +18 offset wheels and still had to trim the lower plastic air dam a bit.

If you don't mind, I think a good indicator of the actual lift of this would be to measure the difference between the two bolt holes for the lower control arms on the drop crossmember

Once my steering stops falling apart I wouldn't mind getting this lift

Still waiting for decent weather to grab pics. Its either sunny during the day when I'm at work, and dark when I get home, or rainy on the weekends lol! Days are getting longer and nicer so I'll make it happen soon!

2015VORTECZ71 thanks for the info on the 295/60/20s. I got the new nitto ridge grapplers installed today and had no issues with rubbing. They fit perfectly!!!

Beautiful truck!

The 275/65/20 will fit no doubt! You don't want to run a 295/60/20? Here is the comparison chart.

Tires look good. I just bought same ones. its new tire, but heard good things. Mine are 295/70 R18, think same size as you. Once my lift goes on i will post.

I am planning 4" ready lift w/shocks, new UCA, and tie rods and diff spacers to keep all aligned. And 1.5" wheel spacers to keep stock wheels and have no issue with rubbing. I am getting Bush wacker extend-a fender flares as well. I like nice wide stance and also installing 2" blocks to keep back up little for towing...and cuz i like the look.

That will look good, that's going to push the tires out a good bit. Ive always been weird about running spacers and towing.

Yeah..i know people are skeptical but believe it or not, the research i did actually strengthened my decision. They were made for a 2500 and assume the load that will be on it. If you think about it, you have 8 more lugs so 16 total to give strength to the wheel, and aircraft grade aluminum. I just will have to check torque settings after 50 mi, then 100. I dont want to cut the stock studs so i have to make sure i get the right size, might have to go to 2"

Snapped a couple pics under there. Hope this shows what you were kind of looking for. The distance between bolts on the drop down bracket. 5"

2015VORTECZ71 · February 4, 2017

Here's another from behind the bracket...

Just contemplating how to fill the wheel opening to my satisfaction I'm thinking as tall as possible, I may lift a little more to get where I feel I need to be.

I gotcha, if you lifted alittle more then you could definitely fit the 285/65 or even 35s if you really wanted too. The problem is our square shaped wheel wells, we have to lift our trucks alot higher then the Dodge and Ford guys to fit bigger tires.
