I just wasn’t sure if the 1.75”would be too much. I thought the 1.5” would match the front perfectly but someone told me that with 1.5” need to trim the studs.

The front of our trucks is actually 1/4” wider per side than the rears, add in the 1.5” added track width from the lift and you have 1.75” spacers.

Hey guys! Who is running Bora wheel spacers on their truck with a Zone 6.5” lift? What size spacers are you running so the track width is the same? Can you share some pictures?

Thanks!

Concur with Jimmy, I did the 1.75", no stud trimming. I measured track width as well as where they sat in relation to the fender when I was deciding. There were a lot of recommendations to do the 1.5" because "that's what the lift adds", but I didn't want to trim, and like Jimmy said, the front is slightly wider to start. By track width I measured at 3.25" wider in the front, and from the fenders the front was right around 2" per side. I almost got the 2" spacers but the 1.75 worked out nicely IMO. I have BDS, not zone, but they should be essentially the same thing.
Apparently I never took specific pics after the spacers, but I found a couple to give you an idea. I'm on 18x10 -19 offset.

Hey guys, I don't know if this has been answered. I tried Google and came up with nothing.

My question, am I correct to understand with a 4.5" or 6.5" Zone, I can fit 35s but only fit 11.5" wide tires on stock 20s on my 2018 Sierra 4x4? From what I understand, it has something to do with the stamped steel control arms. Thanks.

Any of you develop any unusual sounds with the lifts. I have had a 4.5 zone lift for about a year and the last few weeks, it has started to creak a little bit. Only when on full lock too. I took it the place that installed it and they double checked everything and it all checks out. I know its vague, but I have gotten under the truck and had the wife turn the wheel.

Nice looking truck! I ordered the 1.75 Boras and just got them in today. Installing tomorrow! Thanks for sharing, I think I made the right choice!

Already went back to shop and re-torqued everything. Still the a same noise. Sounds like it's coming from the sway bar ends

Truck we built out of the shop. 2019 3500. 7.5" Rough Country, 3" body lift, 40x15x22 Nittos on 22x12 TIS wheels. Normally it's not my style but loved how it turned out!

Beautiful, makes me miss my DMax, looks like you deleted all the fixings on the panels leaving the grocery cart protection only

We are happy with it, can't even tell the body lift is there till you look hard. Everything had come a long way. Now someone just needs to buy it! The door moldings are a pain to get off. Too much risk of paint damage, especially on black.
