I am looking at buying the Rancho lift kit for my 2006 crew cab silverado during their sale. I need to know if anyone with a rancho kit is running 18" wheels that have 5" backspace or more. The kit for my truck states no wheel, 16" or 17" with backspace more than 4.5". I have a set of new 18" wheels that have 5" backspace. Rancho did not know if they would work, and told me they have not tried it.

 

So, anyone with a Rancho lift kit on their truck, running 18" or larger wheels with more than 4.5" backspace please let me know if this will work.

 

Thanks everyone.

When I had the 04. I had the Rancho lift. I had 285's on 16x8 rims. My backspace on my rims were 4.5 but, they measured a little more than 4.75 and I rubbed gashes on the backside of my tires! I was pissed! I didn't realize they were over .25 of an inch until that happened.. I went to 4.25 on the rims after that mess! Just to give you a heads up.

Well, buying new wheels is not an option, as I can get the BDS lift if i want. I just wanted the option of saving 500 bucks of possible, not to mention being able to get in-cab adjustable shocks is pretty sweet.

 

I know someone has to be running 18" or 20" wheels on a Rancho lift.

Think it should be fine even if you havent found the answer some one else may need to know. I had the same problem with to much back spacing and decide to give rancho a call and was asking them about 18's or 20's if it was ok with the 5in and they said they didnt know. I was like Im sure some one there has to a lift on any ride with 18's or 20's on a vehichal, not every body is going to go with 16's and 17's I told him. On another lift I have looked at it did say 18's with 5" but honestly I cant remeber the lift that had it posted. So best bet call, they never email or go to a shop and find out for sure.

      I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.
