My 2014 with 4-inch BDS Lift and 35" Toyo Tires - No Trimming!

OniLink2k2 · May 8, 2014

I know this is asking alot, but could you take a pic from the rear directly down the side. I want to see the offset and how bad the front sticks out farther than the rear. I am concerned about the look because I know the front end sits out 1.5 inches wider than the rear. The idea of that is driving me nuts.

THIS! I even tried calling Zone myself to get pictures of the same angle... They couldn't provide me with any.

I am doing my new black truck with the same lift, rims, but i am going with 35x12.50x20 Nitto Trail Grapplers. Your white truck looks amazing. Does it sit level or is there some rake. I personally like the rear end a little higher than the front. Do the front tires stick out further than the rear ? I might throw a 4 inch block along with a half inch to an inch spacer in between. And maybe some rear wheel spacers. Going to be a couple of weeks before i get my truck. Cant wait. Thanks for posting your pics. Gives me a great visual to what my truck will look like

Oh and your blacked out bowties. Where did you get them? Brand name?

I spoke with Pro Comp today and they have the 4 inch lift out now. It's not online yet but you can get it. There did verify that their lifts also move the front wheels out wider than the rear. I think that made my decision and I am going with BDS. As long as you go with 20 in wheels they won't stick out that far. The back spacing is 5.75 on the 20's and if you go with the 18's the spacing is 5. That means the 18's will stick out .75 inches farther than the 20's.

This whole spacing thing has still got me confused... what those numbers mean and whatnot.

If the ProComp lift sticks out just the same I'm going with Zone... I think it's stupid no one can design a lift that keeps the front end from driving out.

On a side note, the tech from ProComp lied and said the front end sits at same width as the rear..

Here are some additional pictures from the angles you requested. As far as the lift goes, I could not be happier with BDS. They are high quality, backed by a no-BS warranty, and very easy to communicate with.

To me, I rarely notice that the front sticks out farther but it definitely does. I guess I assumed it was that way because of the 4WD.

Thanks for the pics. Love how you parked with the white lines. Very helpful. Cant wait to get mine done.

OniLink2k2 · May 14, 2014

Thank you so much for posting those pics.

Gosh. As OCD as I am, that would annoy the living shit out of me...

*Sigh* But I can't seem to find any company that can do it.

Likewise i ve been waiting 2 weeks now for stuff to show up to do my lift. And i cant get it outta my head.

So you cant find any company to do what?

A lift that will make both front and back tires sit flush with the sidewall of the truck.

A lot of people opt for that "wide stance" look; the tires sticking out the sides. I absolutely despise it.

As much of a GM man as I am, I must say an 2013 F-150 with a level on 35's looks AWESOME. The sidewalls sit flush and it looks tall and beefy .

(...And I HAVE to out-do my buddy's Ford... I don't think you understand how important that is. I've GOT to have my truck look more appealing to me than his does.)

Thanks for taking the time to do this. That will drive me nuts, but really it's not that bad. I just got all my stuff priced today. About time to pull the trigger.

I hate the wheels sticking out too far too. But this white truck looks awesome. They do stick out. But not like some you see. I think rear wheel spacers of 1.25 inches will make it look pretty even front to back. And not stick out too much. Then maybe a small fenderflare. I like all trucks. Lifted. Lowered. Dodge ford chevy. But i love chevys

Here is a teaser pic before the sun went down. I will post more pictures here tomorrow but this should confirm for everyone that the BDS 4-inch lift kit plays nice with 35" Toyos (barely!) and no trimming was required. I also added the upgraded Fox 2.0's to the rear with the install.

For those interested the measurement from the ground to the middle fender was 37" front and 38 3/4 in the rear before the lift kit and wheels were installed. After the install both are 43 1/2". More pics tomorrow.

Lift is in finally. Picking truck up monday night. I put in 1 1/4 inch rear wheel spacers. And its very close to being equal front to back. The bds lift is amazing quality. Going to be a long weekend waiting

Any issues with your wheel spacers?
