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

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
