New Guy 6 inch Pro Comp

Hi all I am fairly new here and have found a ton of great info I have 08 blk fx4 s crew that I am going to lift 6inches using a procomp stage 1. I am looking to run 35 12.50's on 20's and am looking for the right wheel size 20x9? and how much backspacing I like the look of ZERUIN's Truck. I just want to make sure i get the right backspacing and I dont want to have to trim anything. Any body had problems with PRO COMP?

Here's a link to my wheels specs.. I didn't buy them from 4wheelparts.. but it atleast gives you an idea.

http://www.4wheelparts.com/Wheels/Xt...=PXA7005-29536

My wheels are 20x9.5 6 on 135mm bolt pattern and 5.25" backspacing.

Two of you should be able to get it done in a day. Not sure about trucks sold in the US ( I'm Canadian) But you will need some of the larger metric size sockets and wrenches. I had to buy a couple, did the lift in a buddies shop on Jackstands. Took 10 hours. On a frame lift, it should go quicker.

Just did mine last weekend with two floor jacks and 4 (7) ton jack stands. Over kill but I got more height.. If you have any mechanical skills you should do alright. I really liked this link.. http://www.celesapoc.com/truck/ This link has some step by step pics and is pretty good. Good to have to go back to. Do it and join the club.. I am so happy mine is done. But like everyone says you always want to go bigger. Right at a week into it and I already want bigger.. Good luck

Brandon

I'm running 18x9's on my PCcomp. Only 33"s though ( want to keep fuel mileage in town). Pretty common to run 35's on 18"s, they will work for you.
