5" spindle with 2" spacer in front and 4" block in rear. 33/12.5's on 22X12's. Tires are on the small side as far as lift but I think anything bigger would rub and I don't want to trim or cut anything

Whole setup looks perfect size wise.

Do you happen to know your fender measurements?

very cool, for the time being i may just plasti dip them to black out the rest of the truck, only chrome i have is the steps that came with it and the rims.. so i agree, since i got the Z71 blacked out edition, the chrome stands out a bit, but im ok with that until i get around to blacking things out..

Nice truck if thats yours.. i was considering the window visors, but the thin low profile ones that almost seem like its part of the window they are so close and slim.. ive heard mixed things about having them on the cars/trucks.. not sure if its based on the style, but some complain of whistling when driving with the windows down

If thats your truck in the pic, do you have any issues? Are they the channel type that slip into place?

Yeah that's mine. They are the in-channel visors. I don't get whistling at all. Might be a slight increase in road noise because they are squeezing some of the weather stripping, but barely noticeable if at all. Only 'issue' i've had is sometimes the auto-up thinks it hit something and rolls the window back down. Might be partially because i didn't realize they want you to leave the window up for 72 hrs or something in 60 degree plus weather. I installed them in my garage on a 20 degree night and I think I had to use the window the next day. So maybe if it had the right environment to 'cure' it wouldn't do that.

2.5 in front

Remove 1" stock lift block from rear and replace with 2"

Personally I would just want to level the front.

Sounds like the front need 1.5" of lift to level if you are leaving the rear stock. I wonder what tire would fit then? Probably not the size they list with their lift kit

305/55 with 20 inch rims 5.71 (or less) backspacing (my current setup with Rancho easy lift 2") or 285/65 will work obviously 33-12.50R20 are a little big, would require norcal mod or 4" kit

I had a 2.5 ready lift with 33x12.50x 20, with only issue of reversing at full lock. 4” lift should clear.

What lifts can I buy that don't require spacers for the rear wheels?

With the lift kit, the front end is pushed out. Therefore, if you would like your rims to be equal distance out, it is recommend to put them. I went with bora adapters.

None of them REQUIRE spacers for the rear

Some guys don't even worry about it

BRACKET lifts as they're called don't push out the front wheels. Rough country has one as well as CST I believe

They're a bit more pricey than knuckle lifts

^ this is correct. I did a TON of research before lifting mine and came to the conclusion that bracket lifts seemed to cause more issues than a knuckle lift. So I went with a Zone 6.5” lift.

I’m not saying you don’t get issues with both. But I’d do the knuckle lift.

What issues have u heard about bracket lifts? I know you have to relocate the steering rack. I'm still on the fence for what lifts I'm gonna do eventually. I know the truck "needs" one (crew cab std box so it's a bit like a limousine)
