Fabtech question

I'm looking into getting the 6" Fabtech system with DL coilovers and their performance shocks.

I wanna run 36x13.5x20 Irok radials on Moto Metal 951b 20x10 rims.

I was wondering if I will be able to fit the 36s ok with no rub. I wanna avoid adding a spacer b/c I hear this messes up the cv angles? If I have to I'll run 35's I was just curious to see if I could jam the 36s in without any problems


Any input or info is appreciated.

you could probably fit them okay. but to avoid rubbing, you might be needing to crank up your coilovers, which will upset your CV angles slightly.

Cool, thanks. What backspacing should I get on the 20x10s

You may have to crank up the coil-overs a little, which in the end is doing the same as a spacer, but at least you can control the height.

IMO on BS 4.5" looks good, but they will stick out a little.

Thanks guys.

They offer a bs of 4.79in in the 20x10 951 so I'll probably go with that.

Since you want a 36 inch tire on a 10 inch wide wheel with shallow backspacing, I'd suggest the 8 inch Rize lift.

i am running 36x13.50 iroks on a 20x10 wheel w/ 4.5"s of backspacing on my 2WD, iam a little taller than where the rize sits. they clear easily but i know i wouldve had a rubbing problem with only a 6" lift and the wheels i went with. if you go with the fabtech with the DL's i would suggest cranking em up to avoid rubbing, the iroks measure out a little taller than a 36" tire because of the agressive tread design.

If you're going to get the coilover fabtech kit you might as well get the RIZE for the same price.

I can get the Fabtech lift with the DL coil Overs for just around $2100.00. I have never come across a RIZE lift for our trucks that low... do you know something I don't? Do share
