Lift/Wheels Help.

Cobra003 · June 17, 2020

What up peeps. So I am new to the lift game and I am having trouble going back and forth between lift kits and wheel size. I've seen the sticky wheel post and the tire size but I haven't found what I am looking for so I was hoping to get your help from your experience. There is just so much to consider when you look at lift high, wheel size/width, off set, back spacing. I am looking for that 'just right" look.

I have a 2019 Iridescent Pearl White high country 6.2l 4WD and I want to put 35's on it. I was looking at the ReadyLift 4" SST kit with 35x11.50x20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on 20x9 Bronze Fuel Rebels.

The ReadyLift Kit says 0 offset but the 20x9 wheels come in 1 or 20 offset. I dont want the tires tucked in the wheel well. I am ok with them sticking out a tad bit. Do I need spacers? Do I go 20x10 and cut? I've seen the black one that custom offset did with 20x10 and 33's with a -18 offset on 2.5 lift.

What is the feedback around the ReadyLift Kit? I considered the 6" kit to get 12.50 tires and 20x10 wheels but I ruled that out because I figured the 6" would give to much wheel gap between wheel and fender.

I know everyones experience is a little different but I appreciate all feedback. I've read where the ReadyLift kit is good and I've read where the geometry doesnt add up and your CV's are put in jeopardy.

Just looking for some guidance.

I love this look and aggressive stance. How do I accomplish this look with 35's and a 4" lift.

Thanks!!

Figure stock offset on 9" wheels is 24 or so so you would be pushing the wheels out about an inch. I've seen people fit 35x12.5s on stock wheels with a 3.5" lift. But going 11.50 wide wheels instead of 12.5 might give you just enough clearance

On my denali, I have the stock 22s and will be doing 285 55 22s with a bds 4" and will clear no problem

I have the ReadyLift SST on my AT4. Adds 2” to the OEM 2” lift so I’m at 4” total. I did change the UCA which really helps with geometry. Over 3k miles so far on this setup and no CV or CV boot issues or wear that I can see.

Running 20x9 with 0 offset. 305/55/20 (33x12.5)

Poke is about 1-1.25” with no spacers.

@loud_pipes I just realized you're running at 12.50 tire. So you have no rub issues? From what I was told I needed a 20x9 and an 11.50 tire. On 35's, maybe thats the difference?

Yep, that’s definitely the difference. You need 11.5 on 35’s. That’s specifically why I went with 33s - I wanted the extra width of the 12.5.

0 offset is basically the same as 1mm offset ( only 1mm difference) lots of rims offer that offset and not actually a true zero just so you know.

@Dirtbiker Thank you. I looked at fuel's website and they show 20x9 is either a +1 or +20. But the 20x10's go to a -18.

@BlackRST Did you do a lift or is that stock?

That's with a 2" readylift level kit up front. Sits level... .125 difference front to back. I highly recommend that kit based on quality and finished product specs. I didn't want to go with a full lift because I daily this, with my fiancé and 2 big dogs I don't want them jumping in and out on a lifted truck as they got older.

any issues with the readylift level? Trying to decide between readylift bottom spacer or the rough country top spacer.
