hey guys I recently posted about doing a 6” lift on my truck. But the more I learn the less I want to go with the rc 6”. I’m thinking of doing a 2.5” leveling kit. I’m looking to fit nitto ridge grapplers on my truck-
35.4x12.8R20 - 325x60R20
I’m going to be keeping the stock wheels (20x9).
-will they fit with 1” spacers?
And I would also love some recommendations on what leveling kit/ spacers to go with, if I go this rout.any other recommendations would also be greatly appreciated

The 1” spacer will allow the tire to clear the UCA, but otherwise, that’s a lotta tire for just a level ... Gonna look pretty “stuffed” and may rub in a few spots ... Ever consider just a 4” lift ?

I went with a bilstein level thinking it would make a bigger difference than it did and was kinda disappointed. Now looking at a Zone 6" and 37's. why 6" because it doesn't cost much more and the tires are also close in price too, glad I have 92" to the weather strip on the garage lol

If your doing a level check out Thurens. I had them on my old 1500 and rode like a Cadillac/sports car almost with the 2.5 kings. The wheels were 0mm offset with 35s.

Its expensive but def worth it for the ride.

I wouldn't recommend running 325/60/20's with only a leveling kit. It's simply too much tire and you're going to have rubbing issues no matter what. You'd be better off sticking with a 35x12.5 which runs a little smaller in both height and width.

For spacers, you'll need a minimum of 1.5" to clear the stock studs. With 1" you'd need to trim the end of them off; just an FYI.

For a leveling kit, Bilstein 5100 adjustable struts are going to be one of your best budget options. They're a far better option than spacers for not much more money.
