I ordered the 6/3 zone w/35s I really hopefully it will look good. I have the 3.21 and didn't want to re gear with 37.

For 3/6 I would consider a tire size of 325/60R20, depending on manufacturer they are approximately 35.5 x 13.0

35's on stock 20's with 1.5 spacers. No rubbing. Also, I'll second the 5" rear coils.

Do you have any more pics of your truck. Say a side shot....... just want to see how far your wheels/tires stick out with the 1.5 adapters. Also truck looks good what's your total setup consist of.


Sorry for the thread jack.

Here ya go. Tires stick out about 2.5" past fender. I have a zone 6/5 with bils at 2.1, but just moved them to 2.8 about a week ago.

Approximately, yes. Stock front fender was right at 36. After front fenders are 44.5. So, 7.5 lift, and another inch for 35's.

I too am getting the itch to go bigger.
Currently have 6" and 35's, and would really like to go a little higher and add 37's the next time I have to buy tires.
However, my truck just barely clears my garage door now, and I sometimes have to park in a parking structure at work. I "might" be able to squeeze a skinny 37 in there without adding more lift, but then I may need extended bump stops to keep the tires off the fenders.

Here's current pic

You dont use the pre loaded spacer if ur using bils. I think that spacers is like 5/8? So, 5.5 would be correct wothout, and ~6" with.
