2014 Fabtech 4" lift questions

[2019DenaliHARD]

Ive done quite a but of research on what lift kit i want and have decided on the Fabtech 4" kit. However i currently have stock 20" wheels and tires from my SLT PACKAGE. This particular kit you are not able to run OEM wheel offsets because if the upgraded control arms and the angle at which they are. I have seen some people note that Wheel spacers will alleviate this issue until you can purchase a set of wheels/tires. Does anyone know what size wheel spacer will work with this 4"kit and OEM 20's ?? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

I see Readylift has a 7/8' wheel spacer with studs. has anyone used those with stock 20's?

you are either going to have to go with 1.75 or greater wheel adapters, or a .25 slide on spacer.

 

anything less than 1.75 and you will have to trim the studs. I would not recommend going any bigger on the slide on spacer than .25... just seems scary not having a ton of thread engagement.

 

I dont have the kit but just thought i would add some input. i have no idea how much clearance you need. if its not much just go with the .25

the readylift 7/8" spacers come with studs already in them... these are what im looking at..http://www.readylift.com/products/components/readylift-gm-1500-7-8-inch-wheel-spacers-w-studs/readylift-gm-1500-7-8-inch-wheel-spacers-w-studs-10-3485.html

 

they make 1/2" as well im just not sure how much clearance i would need for the new control arms on stock 20's

7/8 would probably be plenty and give it a good stance. Just be prepared to cut a lot of thread off your stock studs. They are about 1.6" and the back of the wheels are flat

i thought the back of the factory 20's have indentions in them . i will have to pull mine off to check.
