Default Lift Question

Can I run a 6in zone lift with stock wheels? Just wanting to know for a few reasons. At first I would like to run stocks so I could save to buy new wheels and tires and second so I could run in mud runs under the 33in class

Tbh it will look really goofy with that small of a tire but it will work fine. You can shove 33s in there without a lift

Yes. I have the BDS, which makes Zone to almost identical specs. I run 33 x 11.5 on stock rims in the winter.



Compared to my 35's.

you will have to watch the backspacing on the factory wheels.... alot of large lifts require a wider wheel with more backspacing/offset than stock wheels. Dghfx4 is currently running fx4 wheels with 37's, not sure if he's running spacers or not.

Zone kicks the front wheels out almost an inch. I get no rub. If you step up to the 12.5" wide, you probably will.
