ok here is the deal with what i want to do. i have a 05 quadcab with a short bed truck. i have factory 20 inch wheels the flower ones. with the 2.50 leveling kit that im going to add what is the biggest tire size i can put on the factory 20' wheels? if i need spacers for the wheels thats not prob cuz i can get them but i want to just put the biggest tires and i dont know the size that will fit factory 20' wheels. another thing is once i do the leveling kit and tires will i need to change my springs? if so what kind cuz i cant find anything? same things for shocks. do i need regular shocks or shocks for a lift? if anyone can help me out that be great. brand names and such and web sites for everything is also helpful. its a 4x4[/align]
Biggest tire size will be 35x12.5X20. You wont have to change your springs. You probably wont need to change your shocks but i would recommend it. You will probably top out over bumps. I havent changed mine yet but will once my fiance gets over her lil fad of spending all my money for her wedding/house plans. Mine top out going over large bumps or hitting pot holes. For tires, Mickey Thompson and BFGoodrich make great tires. Edelbrock, rancho and bilstein make great shocks. You will want shocks that either are 2" longer than stock OR have 2" more travel than stock. 4 wheel parts is a good site to check out all the different products at. I've heard bad things about ordering from them tho, so maybe find what you want there and find and order it on another site after that.
i've had great luck with everything i've ordered from 4wheelparts....but like hanson said, deffinitly go with some aftermarket shocks just to give yourself that lil bit more of travel and you should be set
if you go with the truxxx leveling kit, you won't need to change your shocks. this kit comes with shock relocation brackets. www.fatbobsgarage.com sells 'em cheap.
