so with just bils @ 2.8 and 1.5" rear spacer I can fit 35's without rubbing?

but the question is can I do that on stock 20's??

personally i like these stock 20's

And I think once we stop getting snow and crappy weather I am going to add the 1.5" zone BL I think with my setup it will look fine with the 33's for now.

76- I've got the same plans for my truck. I think the stock 20s need a wheel spacer to make those 35s work without any rubbing since we are +19 offset. gotta get em out a little.

with any luck maybe only a SMALL spacer like 1/4" because I am not a fan of spacers with studs they caused me hassle in the past.

maybe I could also do what I did last time which was find nice tires that are 34.5" and 11.5" wide instead of 35x12.5...

you'd have to check the brands and see what clearance you have. I think some of the 305s are just a hair thinner than the 12.5 width.

A 295/65/20 will give you a 35" x 11.6" and "should" clear just fine with stock wheels.

I have BFGoodrich 325 / 60r20s ( about 35.5x 13 ) on stock sport 20x9s. They barely clear the UCAs without a spacer but clear none the less. They fit at 2.1" and then I moved to 2.8" after I put the rear lift in. I have put wheel spacers in trying to get the stance I like, but they stance I like ( 1.5" offset") rubs the inner fender well. Not saying every truck is like this, but this is my journey so far.

stock UCA?

I have RC UCA's

so I should be fine with 34.5-35" x 11.5-12"

For that price I'd spend the extra cash and go with Fox

I have the 6112’s on my truck, they have a much larger dia than the 5100’s. The shaft on these are also larger, no top flat washer required on the 6112’s. They also have a lifetime warranty just like the 5100’s. I didn’t buy mine pre-assembled so mine were about $570 pair shipped, not bad since they include new coils, they sure ride smooth. Made in the USA

i Know your guys 4th gens are different but something to consider, on my 3rd when i switched from 2.5" coil spacers to 2.8" bils i actually lost a solid 1/2" of height up front and with the spacers on stock 20's and 35x12.50's it rubbed bad. Cut up the wheel wells a ton and added 2" wheel spacers and still rubbed at about 3/4 turn and thats on flat ground
