Lift,Level, etc?

gibby252006 · Apr 14, 2013

What will I need to fit 35 on my truck till I can pay for 6 in lift? Also does anyone know what rims match up in 20s to stock rims?

Reason is Im coming up to need new tires soon? If I go 33 I will be unhappy I think. Any suggestions?

2-2.8 level to fit 35s...stock chrome clads are 20x9 with around +18 offset/5.75 bs..if go with a 12.50" or wider will need more offset than stock unless you 1/4" wheel spacers or larger actual "adapters".

Ok so if I do the bilstien maxed out with rear spacer I should be able to fit 35 with a 1/4 wheel spacer.

i have 37" in front and 39" in rear.

thanks man...and FYI it's your damn fault I bought a dodge, lol. loved your truck when it was rolling the stock wheels and grapplers.

jake09 · Apr 14, 2013

ha and now you hate it on the hostages..i see what ur saying lol..but yeh i love the stock wheel look..just wanted to go bigger and didn't want to run adapters..but sometimes i wish i had the stockers mounted on another set of 37s to swap out sometimes

gibby252006 · Apr 14, 2013

nice I guess this is what Im going to do. When you was saying 1/4 spacers you was meaning wheel spacers? Did you just do front or all around?

jake09 · Apr 14, 2013

He means wheel spacers...don't go over 1/4" wheel spacers bc won't have enough thread left on lugs..I ran these also when had 295s on stock 20s on all 4 wheels..only needed on the front two but makes it look even if put on the rear also

gibby252006 · Apr 14, 2013

ok seems like I can do this mod sooner than I thought any recommendations on wheel spacers and the rear spacer?

jake09 · Apr 14, 2013

I used gorilla 1/4" wheel spacers. Check with some of our vendors and I'm sure they can get you some. Also just measure your current rear end rake now and you will know what size coil spring spacer you would want..bilsteins maxed should pretty much level the truck without a spacer in rear, just depends on how much rake you want..check out topguncustomz.com, they have a lot of rear spacers

gibby252006 · Apr 14, 2013

37 in front 39 in rear

now a 6"sits in the bedroom, plus the bilsteins i have. need to find some 37's and wheels. need to get my tows on, dip my insert, ptm heads, and a rear spacer. i'm digging the black/grey, i hate cleaning chrome.

get billet wheel spacers. the case ones are junk, they are not very precise. as for rear spacer, it all depends. they do the same thing.

these are the wheel spacers i got

how is that .5 inch gonna affect the thread left on the lugs?

jlb · Apr 15, 2013

I think he means that if you use more than a 1/4in spacer the wheel studs won't stick out past the spacer far enough to safely secure your wheel to the hub.

you still will have enough threads left to be safe, i forgot the proper ratio of thread turns to diameter
