It looks like it’s dog tracking without them

But it doesn’t affect how it drives, and for the most part how it looks. I do notice it a lot more now that I have it on my own truck. Most trucks I see with a lift have the front wheels pushed out and the rear wheels not spaced out. I’m a perfect world, I would like them at the same width, but there are other things I’ll do first.

Bora spacers are only $104 for a set.

They are, but there are 10 other things I want to do before that’s even on my list. Just doesn’t bother me enough to make it a priority. My new lights just came in today, my wife wants me to install amp steps soon. Then a bed cover, so on and so on. Your truck’s stance is good looking though.

I’d just do it in one fowl swoop. Lift, wheels/tires, and spacers in the rear. Like I said, I’m just anal about how the truck looks and making sure that my wheels/tires are evenly spaced.

Guess it also depends on your initial offset. It’s just hard to tell from about any angle on my wheels. I actually asked the shop to order bora spacers when they put it on. They said I should wait until I see it. I saw it and didn’t think it was enough. Plus didn’t want to cut my studs down. I get where you are coming from though.

What offset do you have? And what set up are you running?

Offset doesn’t matter, regardless of wheel width or offset the front are sticking out 1.5” further on each side.

I know it doesn’t change how far they stick out, that wasn’t what I was trying to say. At a positive offset of more than 18 though the rear tire would still be inside of the fender, with the front tire then protruding outside of it. That would make for a more visually unappealing look to me than how mine sets. Not sure if that makes sense.

Yeah. That’s what I was getting at, too. I’m either going with a zero or slightly negative offset.

My local dealership does not void the warranty on the truck because of the lift. I asked several service guys including the service manager at two dealerships nearby. They don't warranty the parts I put on; however, they don't void all the stuff that's still from the factory. Legally, they can't void the warranty unless they can prove that the lift is the reason for the failure.

Like others have said, you can get a 360plus warranty, included for free, with the purchase of a Zone or BDS lift. It's a 5 year powertrain warranty that matches the mileage of the factory powertrain warranty. I have a 2014 so the warranty is good for 5 years or 100k mi. The warranty only covers up to $5k in powertrain in the event GM can prove the lift caused a powertrain failure and they do not honor their warranty.

I have had my truck 3 years, 42k miles and the 6" lift with 35s has been on half that time. No issues yet.

I'll have to call mine.  This won't be happening for a bit.  I don't quite have the $4k plus for the lift, tires, and install.  Unless I hit the lottery..... Or get hit by a car and sue someone..... But it'll be happening within the year.  I just enjoy doing my research and getting all of the info I can ahead of time.

Just got the zone 4.5 life installed with the 35” Toyo M/t tires. So far I’m impressed with the height. It still fits in my garage. Wife has to crawl in but next are the steps.

What size wheels are you running and what offset and width? Any rubbing
