Real lift #s please..

Both superlift and zone make a very similar 4" suspension lift kit. I know the zone kit offers either a 2" rear spacer, or a 3" rear coil spring option. I believe superlift does as well. If you want to spend a little bit more money, go with BDS.

What would be the difference of the bds kit over the others to warrant the extra money?

... So my stock 60 r 20 tire will be somehow a different height than the 60r 20 tire you're talking about? Teach me this common core math of yours

20 is wheel diameter, the 60 is the aspect ratio meaning the sidewall is 60% of the tires width
In other words....wider tread = taller tire if aspect ratio and wheel diameter are kept constant.

325/60R20

325/25.4= 12.79 (tire width)

12.79 x 60% = 7.67 (sidewall height)

7.67 x 2= 15.34 (two sidewalls)

15.34 + 20 = 35.34 total tire height

This is just how it converts from metric, as always refer to manufacturer specifications for advertised dimensions.

Your stock size is a 275/60R20

275/25.4 = 10.8 (tire width)

10.8 x 60% = 6.48 (sidewall height)

6.48 x 2 = 12.96 (two sidewalls)

12.96 + 20 = 32.96 total STOCK tire height


maybe this will help you

Slightly better quality components and better warranty. Zone is a sister company to BDS.

Ahh, gotcha

I have the 4" BDS lift kit that comes with rear lift options ie 2" rear spacers or 3" rear coils. My rake preinstall was at 2" and I ended up using the 2" rear spacers that put me dead level. With the BDS 3" rear coils installed that put me at 4" of rear lift. Mine you that I do have a RCSB so my truck is a little lighter then yours. I also had the front strut preload spacer in at one point and that added just under 1" of extra lift up front.

So moral of the story is measure your current rake and see where you're at. Then decide if you want to be close to level or have a little extra rake in case that you like to tow or haul without having the Cali Lean.

Rake doesn't bother me just needs the rear lifted those 2"+ so looks like a 4" with the 3" springs will do that. Thank you.
