2.5" RC Level & 1.5" Body Lift Fitting 35x12.5r20 on a -24

njk4o5 · May 24, 2017

Hey guys,

Ive been researching the heck out of what I want to do with my truck. I narrowed it down to a 2.5 RC level and a 1.5" Zone body lift all together for a little over $300 and installing myself.

Now for wheels. I want the fuel maverick 20x10 -24 or the Moto Metal MO970 20x10 -24 offset so they stick out a little.

Ive concluded that I can fit a 33x12.5 tire without rubbing. But has anyone tried a 35x12.5 tire? Theres a nice set of MT ATZ 35x12.5' in my town on craigslist for cheap. Im hoping I can zip tie my fenders and it will work.

Thanks

I have 33x12.5 with-12 and I barely rub at full lock. But i have 2" in the front amd 1.5 body. not 2.5 level. But you will have to trim for 35s. No question

So you want to run 35s? What year is your vehicle?

its a 2014 high country. I bought fuel maverick 20x10 -12 wheels they will arrive today. I also picked up some 35x12.5's locally for $400 with 99% tread.

The zone body lift is already here im just waiting on the level kit

If that ends up not working rancho sells front shocks called quick lift they are not very much money to get the front and back ( back shocks from 5000-9000 ranchos) the whole kit is 900 Canadian so about 700 usd.

I also want to move up to 35s. 33s arnt doing it for me but I'm not ok with paying out that butt for a lift

yeah I gained about 1" per side. i didn't take too many pics because i was trying to get it done before it got dark. you can see where i cut so i could bend the tab out and cut some more inside and then hammer it all back in. very simple took about 30mins per side

could anyone tell me what comes in a RC 2.5" kit? how big is the lower strut block and how big is the coil spacer? i ordered a 2" front kit off ebay and the lower strut block is only 1.25" but it looks to be as big as a RC 2.5 lower strut block. im thinking about getting a small coil spacer too

3 inch on both sides isn't bad. Do you happen to have any more pictures?

I'm thinking about doing what this guy did

ill take some more tonight. the tires that came on my truck are 275/55r20 and stand 32-1/4" tall. my new "35s" are only 33.75" tall but that will most likely go up once inflated.

I love the look of a 22x10 on a 35. I would've went that route if I didn't find these 35r20's locally for dirt cheap. id be careful of using a rancho quicklift and a RC 2.5 kit on the front end. that's like a 3.5-4" lift on the front. I'm pretty sure a RC 2.5 kit and a 1.5" body lift can fit 35" tires on nearly any wheel with the NorCal mod done.
