I have a 2017 with 6.5" Zone lift and I am running stock 20" wheels with 35x12.50 Toyo R/T.  No spacers needed at all.  No trimming and no rubbing.  I do have 1.5" spacers in the back, but that is just to match the front trackwidth.

All stock with 2.5” TG Customz level in front and add a leaf in rear. Minor issue: some banging up front on rough roads, which I think is due to UCA hitting metal stop lightly. May remove 1.5” of the level and go to 1.5” zone body lift but the rake might require the add a leaf to come off.

I have a zone 4.5 with 33’s. No rubbing whatsoever. I just won a 6” BDS from Custom Offsets and they said I can run 35’s with this setup with no rubbing. Good luck.  You’ll have a whole new truck once it’s lifted 

Damn, nice! When are you gonna swap out lifts?? Thanks for the insight. I ran the math a few times but just wanted a sanity check.

Sweet, thanks!! How is the ride quality?

Rides as smooth as the day I picked it up. Probably even better over train tracks and stuff. MPG is down as expected.

Just waiting for the shipment. I’m running 34” studded snow tires right now so I’ll probably swap it out soon. It’s a pretty sizable expense but well worth it.

Did you stick with the stocks that came with the lift or upgrade to the hydro or Fox Adventure Series?

Ride quality is excellent.  Better than stock in my opinion.  I'm about to order Fox coilovers for it, ride should get even better then.

Stock up front and the RC shocks in back.

I have the stock 20 in rims with a 3.5" rough country lift with new struts and UCAs. The tires are Cooper ST Maxx 275/65/R20

fuzzybritches, looks great!  Cooper ST Maxx are the bomb.  I've had three sets.  Went wheeling in the black hills of SD this summer on a set, they were excellent.

OEM step boards have since been taken off and replaced with Amp Research.   I need to get a new pic of it now if it will ever quit raining!

Looking forward to seeing more pics. This is about the exact setup I want.

Yeah leevon I love these tires so far. Perfect balance of off-road and highway performance. If only they didn’t cost 1400 a set.... ?

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
