Just ordered the Rc 2.5in level lift kit. Will I be able to fit 305/55/20 falken wild peaks on my stock 20's with little or no rubbing? Looking for people's experiences/advice with this set up or a similar one. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

I installed the zone 2” lift on my ‘14 and now have 305/65/18 on stock rims. I have rub at full lock in reverse on the liner and partial rub on the mud flap at close to full lock

Did the BDS 6" with Fox shocks. 22x12 Sprockets on 33" Toyo MT's. Rides like stock, no rub no trimming.

Crappy pic, but this was right after it pulled out of the garage last night. 4.5 zone with fox in the rear, 35x12.50r20 nitto ridge grapplers on stock elevation rims. Ride seems better then stock, i

I apologize that it took me so long, but these are definitely stamped steel right?  Are there any good magneride kits out there that don't widened the front stance?  That's my only issue with BDS.  I'm ready to get this thing up in the air!  Also, these are the wheels I'm planning on putting on, 22x10 with -18 offset.  I figured a black/chrome wheel  would look perfect on my black with lots of chrome Denali.  Thanks!

I don’t think there are any kits for magnaride that don’t widen stance. And yes those are stamped steel

Quick question for you guys, at a 6.5” lift and 35s on a Sierra 1500, what’s my total height going to be? I’m scouting car washes in my area. Lol

Just did the math. I’ll be just under 7’0”, as long as my ride height is the 74” it has listed. Haha looks like I’ll be taking a tape measure to it when all is said and done.

So took one of my rims off this weekend to measure and check backspacing and such.. found the flatest and straightest thing i had to lay across the rim lip, measured down to the flat surface that touches the disc brake surface and it measured right at 6" or little less.. , but def between 5.75" and 6"

 

The Zone 6.5" 4WD kit i order calls for the following if using 20"

Wheel Size: 20x9

Back Spacing: 5.75″

Max Tire Size: 35 x 12.50

 

If its truely 6" backspace, would my rims work for the lift and all i need is new tires?

My rims are 20x9, have 27mm offset and between 5.75" and 6" of backspacing.

Don’t forget you should also do 1.5” spacers in the rear to even track width

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
