How much will my kit push my tires out with 295 60 r20 ridge grapplers on a 20 inch factory wheel?

with the Zone 4.5" you'll get closer to 6" total lift including tires. I was about 36.5"F before and 42.5"F after

 

You could try the smaller 3" block or get a new leaf spring pack. How much and how heavy do you tow?

Really small picture but my truck is on the 4.5" lift with 20s on 35" Toyo's

 

 

I am the same decision as well with the traction bars. Could you provide me a link as well? Next, I have the 6.5 lift for zone. Did you put the lift on your self, or have a shop do it? Your truck looks good.

 

Can i run factory 20 inch wheels with the 4.5 inch zone lift?

Depends on the control arms. My brother ran his factory with the 4.5 lift, but he added adapter to have his rims stick out. I called zone several times, and they were friendly for questions and advice. Keep me Posted.

I believe my factory 20 inch wheels have slightly over a 6 inch backspacing. Which is the measurement from the inside edge of the wheel to the mounting face. The 4.5 zone kit calls for less than 5.75 inches of backspacing in order to run 20 inch wheels, unless I'm missing something?

they MAY work, it all depends on your on control arms.

 

I ran stockers on my '13 with the Zone 6.5" kit for winter.

I have no idea, you'd have to check the specs of each brand kit you're considering

some guys are able to run em, some can't. I think because of your UCAs that you can't

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
