2014+ Suspension Lifts

Did you go with a 4" or 6" from bds? Any pics?!

I went with the four inch kit. Install was a breeze and quality is top notch. Here it is with the OE wheels and Cooper Zeons in 275/60r20. Fuel Hostage and Toyo AT's in 295/60r20 will be here next week. I'll be installing the pocket style flares when the wheels show up. Thinking about 1.5" spacers for the rear wheels too.

Thanks, that sounds like a pretty good idea. Thats the route I'm gonna go.

How do i know what offset the rims need to be when i buy them? I know i want 18's I just don't know anything else about rims.

When i get the BDS lift does anyone know if i need to extend the break lines as well? Im looking to purchase and install everything this fall and want to buy everything at the same time. I just don't know what "extras" i need beside the lift, rims and tires. Thanks

No need to extend any lines or wiring (or buy new hoses). Kit comes 100% complete. You relocate a few brackets to drop those items.

If your buying new wheels anyway, why do a spacer? I had spacers on stock jeep wheels, I didn't have any real problems, but put on wheels with proper backspacing as soon as funds allowed. Just seemed ify with a set of lug nuts you cant easily check hidden behind the wheel.

I'm only looking to space the rear wheels. I'm not a huge fan of spacers, but I want to be able to rotate my tires to keep them wearing properly. Spacers make more sense to me than wheels with different offsets.

Try swapping your front tires to see if the pull goes to the left. That will tell you if it's a tire. Double check for equal tire pressure before you go that far though.

I don't know about a pull, but I have a vibration they can't get rid of after I put on Toyo Open Country. It's driving me nuts. I have had the tires balanced 2 times with a speed balancer. Now I'm gonna try a load force balancer. I hope that works cause I don't even like driving it right now.

I just ordered spacers for the rear. I'll let you know how they work out. They should be here weds.

I have the 7-9 Mcgaughys lift set at 8. I'm running the 22x12 -44 Fuel Nutz wheel, with the 35x12.50x22 mud gripper. The truck sits almost perfectly level. I'm also running 1 1/2 spacers on the rear wheels.
