Bds 4" With Pics

hossmp2500 · February 15, 2011

I wanted to post up a quick pic of my truck and say thanks to those that helped me along the way with some of the choices I made. The truck is a 2009 1500 4x4 and as you can see its a crew cab. It had a 2.25" leveling kit and the Helo 835 wheels along with 275/60/20 Cooper Zeon LTZ tires. This set up was ok but I wanted more. It rubbed often when I was off road and just turning into my driveway. I take the truck on to the beach and as some may know its not a smooth ride over and through some of the ruts.

I went with a BDS 4" lift with the optional leaf springs and it also has the upgraded shocks. They do not show on the website for the 4" just the 6 but they were available. I also added a set of Nitto Trail Grapplers. I was initially thinking of going with a Mickey Thompson ATZ then moved to a Toyo Open Country MT then settled on these for the price and availability. The truck rides great in fact its much better this way than before. The only thing I wish I had was 18x9 wheels versus the 20x9 wheels. The tires are more expensive and I like the look of a little extra sidewall. I know people will ask about the fender measurements. They are about 42 front and 42.5 rear. I didnt do a great job measuring this just a quick job. The truck was just cleaned up the other day up in the North East we have had constant bad weather and the salt on the road is excessive.

I plan on doing some better pics these were after a quick wash. It was finally warm enough to get out and clean it up Sunday. I try to keep the salt rinsed off and wash it every other week if possible.

It does not rub at all and I am not talking about driveway aprons and stuff. I ran it up onto some snow piles to make sure. I did trim some when I had the leveling kit though. The tires area a 295/55/20. I was going to run the 305/55/20 if you look at the Nitto site you will see they run large. The 295/55/20 measures out to a true 12.5 for reference I think the 305/55/20 Good Year Duratrac only measures out to 12.4 inches. Its all relative and they would all fit. I went with that tire for price. I was able to get them for a much better deal than any of the others. I had a local shop that ordered them in for someone else and when I was looking they wanted to move them so took some off the final price.
