Get a lift or stay stock

mrecooper · Mar 29, 2017

Looking at getting the Nitto Ridge Grapplers, but they do not make the 275/60R-20 in this tire. I believe the next size up is 285/60R-20, should I get a lift (3" is what I am thinking), if I were to get a lift or stay with a stock tire, possibly the BFGoodwich A/T K02?

I prefer to not to lift but I am not sure if the 285/60R-20 for the Nittos will rub or not??

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm in your situation too. I was thinking a 2.1 Bilstein level for the front should suffice for these size tires.

I'm in this boat too thanks for starting this. As I'm in need of new shocks

Just do Bilstein's for those sizes your looking at. Could even do 295's

The Ridge Grappler comes in a 275-65-20 size which is just a hair taller. That size will fit without a level & will fill in the wheel wells better than the stock size.

As the others have said....if you go to the Bilstein 5100's shocks on the front you can fit almost any size you want within reason.

Awesome! I appreciate the help! If I were to go with the 275-65-20 Ridge Grappler, would it add about a 1/2"-1" increase in height? How much additional does the Bilstein 5100s add to the height?

The 275-65-20 Ridge Grappler is 1.1" taller in overall diameter than the 275-60-20 Goodyear SRA stock tires.

The Bilsteins are adjustable to 1.7", 2.1" or 2.8" depending on how much you want to lift the front.

I just ordered the Bilsteins from 4wd hardware's ebay page for $94.99 with free shipping if any of you are really considering them. I was on the fence about them too and decided to go for it when I saw the price.

Just the fronts are adjustable?

Right....

The back ones can't be adjusted. If you want the back higher without a lift you need spacers.

Not to hijack this thread, but can Bilsteins be used on a 2017 4x2 to leveled it?

What is the typical adjusted length for the Bilsteins that people go with, 2.1? That should allow at least a 295 tire size, correct?

Cmsharp · Mar 31, 2017

You can get bilstein shocks on amazon for 100 each

SeriousBlack · Mar 31, 2017

Thanks on the part number!

what is the typical adjusted size folks go with for their Blstein shocks?

I don't want much of a lift, so I was thinking 2.1?

With my Bilstein set at 2.1 can I fit the ridge grapplers at 35x11.5r20 on stock chrome clads or possibly a 295/60 ? Tire sizing makes my damn head spin no matter how much I I read

They should fit just fine. My 285/65/20's fit w/Bils @2.1 and did not rub anywhere when flexed or stuffed

Tire specs out to 34.5" tall, 11.7" wide mounted on a 20x9 rim.
