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

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
