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..

I've got the custom...truck came with some decent black alloy wheels 18 x 8.5 ya think Maybe I can use them with the 1.5" Lev & the 35" Bfg's ?? Seems every local shop around here (L.A. CA) just wants to push a $6500 lift  rims and tires.. crazy

I like more tire too. 17x8 methods 0mm no spacers.

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
