IF YOU HAVE A 4X4

you can mount a 35 on stock wheels and crank your torsion bars all the way up and you will only have slight rubbing

or the way id do it would be crank your torsion bars up to level the truck then add a 3" Performance Accessories Body Lift

yes its a 4x4 but the tire size is 35x12.50 r20?

Should be a levling kit thats atleast 2"-3" and depending on the backspacing and the width of the tire. But im sure you can keep your factory rims and put on a tire thats 35x 13.5 at the max.

Autospring is the best levling kit for the money and just about everyone on the site has em. $90 Shipped and can find em on ebay:thumbsup: i have one as well

why do you want a 20" wheel? thought you were cheap, nothing about 20's are cheap tires are more expensive, wheels are more expensive

but if you are trying to mount a 35x12.5x20 you will need a 3" body lift with the torsion bars cranked to level

OR a suspension lift

wheels need to have around 4.5" of backspacing

RIght. Just use a 10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of bs, crank up the torsion bars and trim the front bumper's lower plastic valance.

nope, only paid $275 for the (4) 20's brand new in a box. Can't get OE for that price and as far as the tires go not that big of a difference between 17 and 20 also they don't make nitto mud graps in stock sizes. Thanks fo the help with the lift info though...

4.2trimble Apr 29, 2009 03:17 PM

wow, just have fun.

you got a good deal on the wheels. but i promise tires price JUMP from 16-20's

and yes nitto makes mud graps in 17's

dont know why you say your cheap? Runnin 20's, running a tire that absolutely sucks on the road and cost 350 each, expect slightly over 20k miles MAYBE 25k if you are good to them

The cheapest I found mud graps in 16 was about $1000 for a set which is the same price I got the 35-20 for. Main reason I just wanted my truck to be all black wheels, truck, tires, glass...Maybe cheap isn't the word. I just spend a lot time looking for something I want for the lowest price.

Most tires are black, even if they have white letters, just turn them around.

:D haha

BRAD:Do you plan on offroading at all? if not then get a different tire PLEASE. The tires just arent worth it for road use to me, really not worth anything to me.

honestly id look into a set of Toyo Open Country MT's, Mickey Thompson MTZ's, or even BFG KM2's

i think theres more tires out there that will work better for you.
