Hello all. New member here. I seen another post from a member here who had a 4" lift on a 2012-2014 black fx4 and was using his factory grey 20" wheels and I can't find thread anymore. Anyway I'm wanting to do same setup, I have a 2014 fx4 and was wanting to do a 4 or 6" lift with factory 20's and 35s. I have been told it's not possible to run a 4" lift with factory wheels. Can someone please point me in the right direction on what will work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why wouldn't you be able to use your stock rims? Lots of guys do. Unless the lift has an UCA that would hit. There are some that have clearance issues but others don't. Best thing to do is call the place you want to order from and ask them.

Called rough country and they said wouldn't work but seems like the guy here had same black truck with 4" rough country and factory 20's with no issues. He had I believe a 2013 blk fx4 and his rear fx4 decals were grey and Blk ..maybe he will chime in here soon or someone knows the truck I'm thinking of.m

And why did they say it wouldn't work? Call a different company. Many make a 4" lift.

From research I have found the 2013 and 2014 have different control arms

I don't think the uppers are different (could be wrong) but the lower bracket where the strut mounts was changed. Maybe other things too. What did they tell you the issue was? Like I said, try a different kit.

What about Rancho? I recall seeing a truck on here with 4" lift running factory 20"s. Maybe throw some wheel adapters on to bump the wheels out some.

Exactly. You need to know the reason they said it wouldn't work. May be ways to work around it or try a different manufacturer.

That must of just changed as I've been looking at their kits and it use to work with factory 20's as long as you ran an 11" wide or under tire.

Look at wheel spacers. 1.5" wheel spacers are what I'm doing with their 4" kit so it will still fit in the garage. and it will give the factory wheels a nice offset and look good with the lift. Other wise it looks like a bodybuilder who doesn't workout legs with keeping the tires tucked in when you look at the truck from the front or rear.

Another option is rancho as their kits will work with factory 18's and 20's
