None of the lift kits currently on the market support a 17" wheel. 18" wheel minimum according to their respective websites.

Can you explain how some of the guys in this thread are able to run 17" wheels with the rancho lift? theres also this guy on the custom offsets gallery https://www.customwheeloffset.com/wh...nsion-lift-4in with the rancho lift and 17" wheels

Or is it different between the 15-17 and 18-20? I have a 2019 btw

Default Same question but for a 2015 Lariat

I wanted to resurrect this thread and ask the same question as the OP but for a 2015 Lariat 4wd. I recently upgraded to 17” wheels with 4.75” of backspace and a 0mm offset. I have some Falken Wildpeak 315x70 R17 on there (essentially a 35x12.5 tire) and have done all the trimming I’m will to do, but they still rub a bit when articulating over bumps and obstacles. It currently has a 2.5 level on the front and an add-a-leaf spring in the back that raises the rear by 2”. I am trying to find a 4” lift that will work with my truck and the 17” wheels in this configuration.

Most manufacturers state that you need an 18” stock wheel at least for the knuckle to fit, but my wheels are obviously not stock. They say nothing about an aftermarket wheel with a 0mm offset. I called Rough Country and they told me that I would need another 1 inch wheel spacer to make my wheels fit with their 4” lift kit….I already have about 1.5” of offset versus stock but he didn’t even seem to want to listen to me on that point.

Does anyone know of a company that makes a 4” lift that will work with my setup on the 2015+ model years? I think Zone makes one but for 2wd only. Or are they still just covering their bases with that language in their specs? Has anyone just gone ahead and done this on a 2015?
