My ride, '15 Silverado LT Z71, 6" Fabtech, 35" x 12.50" 20 Toyo AT II on Fuel Mavericks, 20" x 9" (5" BS). Fits in 7' garage (82 1/2" actual opening height). I have about 1" clearance at top of Onstar antenna, had to cut the radio antenna about 6"-7". Color is Slate Gray Metallic.

Truck looks awesome! You should replace your atenna with a shorty from xtenna on Amazon. Awesome atenna with great reception and only $17.

2014 Silverado 1500 with 7 inch rough country lift. 20x12 -44 fuel hostage with toyo mt 35x12.5r20. Ignore the dirt and salt, haven't had a chance to wash it.

Does anyone have any example pictures on how they trimmed their wheel wells on the cab? Only examples I can find are on older truck that don't have the extra plastic piece. Thanks

I can post some pictures for you when I go to lunch today. I had to do quite a bit of trimming on mine 13.5" wide tires and -24offset

I'm going to ask this question just to clarify, I am thinking about running the Zone 6.5" with 18"x9 wheels. Now the lift calls for 5-5.25 Backspace. I assume that means no more than 5.25"...? For example I found a wheel that I like with a -12 Offset so roughly 4.5" Bs. That should work correct? Any input is appreciated. I know this was probably answered before but couldn't find a definite answer. Thanks

Yes. That wheel should work fine with that lift if yiu stay with a 35x12.50 or smaller

I always come here in hopes that I get to see someone who did a proper 2-3" lift. All I get are 6"+ lifts lol.

Try the level thread. Good stuff in there with smaller lifts

There's no such thing a proper 2-3" lift. At that height it is just a level kit which is essentially spacers 9/10 times. Your best bet would be that Rancho Quick-Lift. It levels your truck but does it by replacing your factory strut assembly with new ones. Thus your ride quality won't suffer.
