Hey looking to put 35"s on a 2020 trail boss... Local shop said I would need new rims and a 6" lift kit...???? If so is there anything I need to know about what type/ kind of lift to go with to avoid future issues..looking for some product recommendations.. don't care for the way these trucks sit stock, tires seem small????

I would probably do more research on here first before deciding. There are many people on here who have 35" tires with just leveling kits or slightly higher. Your trail boss also has larger wheel openings to easily allow larger tires compared to my AT4.

You fit 17's on this truck?! Hallelujah! I've been searching far and wide to find a 17" wheel that fit these trucks. I didn't think I was going to be able to! Any specific backspacing to look for? Did you do any trimming?

 

While we're at it- Any power loss/MPG loss with the bigger/heavier tires? Do you have the 10 speed trans or 8 speed?

 

Great looking rig. I've got the same one!

Ya brother they fit no problem.  They are the icon compression wheels.. I just looked them up and they are actually 17x8.5 0 offset 4.75 backspace.  I did have to trim the mud flap a little and remove the flap bracket.. I used one of the bracket bolts to pin back the fender liner and it doesn’t rub lock to lock.. was happy how it came out with very minimal mods to make it fit..

 

as far as power I’m not sure the difference as I put the wheels on a few weeks into buying it.. although I’m positive I lost some MPGs and some pickup.. regearing is an option but it’s not really noticeable and I’m not racing the truck around anyways.. 

 

I was actually thinking down the line if I do long travel and fenders, I’d go to 37s and def regear.. but that’s more a dream than a reality..

The icon site has a photo of a T1 with these wheels so that’s how I knew they’d fit..

Truck looks great, do you have a leveling kit or small lift on that ?? Do you have any rubbing issues??

I have the Eibach pro truck struts and springs in the front. I have them set on the third strut perch. The rear is the TB blocks that came on the truck and the Eibach struts. I’m around 3 inches in the front and 2.5 in the rear.
 

I trimmed the mud flaps and removed the bracket, no zip ties though. I don’t have rubbing even on flex in the front but I’ve trimmed all the places I was rubbing before so you have to be willing to slice the liner a bit.

I have a 2020 Custom 4x4 (Not a trail boss). I added a 2.25 procomp level up front and was able to fit 35x12.5s on my stock 20’s. I did delete the flaps/air guards, but have no rubbing even at Full lock. 
 

I had two different (reputable) 4x4 shops say something similar to me about needing a 6” lift to get to 35s. Guess it’s in their best interest to have you spend $2500 getting a Massive kit installed and selling you a tire package for another $2500. Also to be fair to them, ( at least the ones around here) they aren’t very familiar with the T1s yet 
 

I have the tires and stance I want and am all-in for less than $1400

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
