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 :/

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

      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. 😉
