4” rough country lift

[Etill99]

I’m looking at getting the rough country 4” lift package and run 35’s. I don’t know much about wheels and am looking for help. I have 20x8.5 with +24 offset and backspacing of 5.69. The kit says I must have 4.5” backspacing for everything to fit right. I’m wondering if the wheels I have would work if I ran 2” wheel spacers so I can save some cash. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

You should have NO problems running 35 with a positive wheel offset, especially with 20 inch tires.. I have the BDS 4 inch lift and run 35 on a -12 inch wheel on 18 inch rims..I’m thinking you can also get away without running any wheel spacers.. I did remove my factory muddflaps though.. Some people have to run a 3/8 spacer to clear the calipers, but my wheels worked without any spacers..
