Zone said no their 4.5 inch kit cannot run factory 20s with 6.06 inches of backspacing.

 

Did they say if you add adapters, could it work? Or you could sale your rims and get the ones that work!!!

He would need spacers, probably close to 1/2" at least

Are 1/2 inch spacers to correct the backspace safe and would they compromise durability?

safe as long as you got a quality spacer that's lug/wheel/hub centric

Think this kit is the perfect stance for our trucks. Wish I didn't have to deal with parking garage height constraints :/

Lol. That is the new chapter in my life. Can't park inside anymore.

I hear you. Home I could just park in the driveway. Unfortunately at work, an above ground parking garage is the only option at our station.

Getting the lift installed next week, but still have the difficult decision ... tire size. Have 20x9's with +18 to keep close to body, but not sure if it looks better with 305 55r20's (33x12.5) or 275 65r20's (34x10.9). I've always liked the 33's, but thinking a 34 would fill out more, but keeping it a 10.9" wide tire might look to skinny. Or just go with a 285 65r20 (34.5x11.5)? Do a lot of highway driving thats why I was leaning towards the 275 65's

 

I've combed the threads and everything in pics looks good! Any pics of the above combo's? Thoughts?

How far do they stick out in the front. What size lift? How bad did mpg suffer?

they BARELY stick out (I sold those wheels that same day). It's a 4.5" Zone and I now average 13-14mpg with the 6.2 with 40/60 hwy/city

    • 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
    • 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.
    • from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
