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

      The Peckish Synapse

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
