Wow, that Gen4 has to be unusable. I had to cut a bunch for +12’s. 12” wide -44’s! I love the deep dish look as long as there is not a rubber band wrapped around the wheel. Which seems to be the trend these day’s as no one really wants to take their $80+K SUV or truck off the road.

Yep on my 16 with Readylift, 35/11.50/20 on stock +44 and 1.25” bora spacers I had to move the electric running boards backward, cut a small piece off lower front wheel well, And a ton of the crappy carpet liner in wheel well To get em to fit too

I don’t have a really good pic, but your question about it moving the rear tires forward into the rear fenders. It does make it look that way. Especially with large tires. Anything bigger than a 35 will probably stay stuck in the rear fender well on full compression.

Ready lift 3/2 35x12.50x20’s on 20x9 +12’s. My phone is always wanting to change it to 20’s for some reason. I have to keep correcting it.

So, when you lift and Expy, do the wheels get pulled inward a little towards the centerline of the truck (meaning towards the driveline)?

I am wording this Q poorly, but I am not refering closer to the fender/bumper, but deeper in the wheelwells.

With the 3/2 yes they will be pulled in towards the center and rear wheels will move forward in wheel well. Even 35/11.50s wouldnt stick out past fender Which is why I put spacers on the wheels

I dont think the rear wheels move fwd anymore than they already are. The gap is just reduced more with a bigger tire.....thus exaggerating the look. I could be wrong.

But otherwise everybody is correct on the wheels ending up a little more tucked in. Its just a function of the a-arms swinging down. Its really very little. I would do the spacer too, if anything, to help clear the UCA if you gots some beefier rubber.
