The max size for the Fabtech lift is 35". My wheels are 20"x10" with 5" backspacing and there's no way that 37's would have fit on my truck. I had to trim quite a bit just to get my 35's to clear and they'll still rub some off-road.

 

I got my BDS lift installed today with the 35's and there is no rubbing at all. Fits well. Pictures will be posted soon

 

What wheel.tire size did you use? Im shocked that you dindt have to trim at all. I have a 6 inch BDS lift with 35X12.50 on wheels with 4.?? something backspacing(cant remember right now) and i had to trim a good amount off the front valence of the bumper it would rub when turning

 

What kind of lift do you have? Looks like you got more of a rake going on in the front end of yours. Mine only rubs if I hit a big bump while turning. Which has probably happened five times over a year.

 

Are you asking me? It's a 6 inch BDS

 

I see it in your post now, must have been just looking at your truck and missed it..nice truck. But maybe its just the way your truck is sitting or the picture but it looks like the front is lower on your lift for some reason.





But your probably rubbing the bumper because of your backpacking only at 4 something. My rims are really tucked under the fenders, to the point they almost hit the spindle with 5.5 in backspacing.

 

Yeah, it might also be just the angle with the extenda flares. Now you got me nervous...hahaha I'm going to have to measure now...lol

Yeah mine stick out about 2 inch, hence the need for the flares.

Nice truck too!!

TimLessr1: My tires are 35x12.50R20 Only been driving it 2 days now but haven't heard any scrapes as of today.

 

Carter-- what offset are you running? I looked at my wheels and they are 18X9 with a -12 offset..It would rub the front valance area

 

There is a reason I got rid of my 6" BDS lift, my first set of rockstars, 2" spacers, and a set of pro comp coils that i bought in hopes of fixing what the spacers did not. I started out with 37's as that is what I wanted to run, the BDS kit, said it fit 37's and well now I have the 8" Rize kit, and King coils made to set the truck at 10.5-11" in the front. Now I clear 37's.

37's do not fit on these damn trucks with just a 6" lift. Yes the truck will be fine going on a straight line on a flat surface but once you step outside of those perfect conditions get ready for what your mind is already telling you.

Also, what the lift kit companies dont tell you is that your gas mileage will drop to around the 8 mpg marker, you won't be able to tow as you wont have the power to turn the tires + a boat up a hill and if you like the fast lane and or passing on the highway you might as well pretend neither of the two are existant.

Search the forums and you will find pictrues of 09+ trucks with just 6" of lift and 37s and then search some more and you will see why a certain member is telling you it wont work =)

 

They dont need to tell you because it is common knowledge that you MPG will decrease drastically when putting on lift and tires. You are creating more drag and increasing the diameter of the tire which requires more motor to turn them. They are also heavier which creates more rolling mass which is why the truck wont accelerate like stock.

All this can be alliviated by a gear swap to bring everything back in line. It always amuses me that guy's will spend 5k on lift tires and rims and cheap out on regearing, it would be just another grand and the truck would run and tow so much better and retain some of the stock MPG. You will lose some of your top end but worth the trade off.

 

I have a 20x10 with 5in backspace and 12mm offset. I haven't had the lift on long but haven't had it scrape at all so far. Don't think the shop trimmed anything far as I can tell but may have and I just didn't catch it. Nothing noticable atleast.

 

Actually your wheels have a -12mm offset. Truck looks great!

 

thanks
