2021 Trailboss LT
Hello all I am new to this forum and I’m looking to get some good advice being I have been finding so many conflicting answers just on Google

I currently have a 2021 trail Boss LT on the factory 20 inch rims with wrangler territory MT’s 265/60/20 tires.

I just recently purchased the ready lift 1.75 inch level kit (#66-3921) and I’m looking to install it and run the factory 265/60/20 tires temporarily until I get new ones.

-Would it look funny at all with the stock tires?
-Should I wait to install until I get bigger tires 3-4 months down the road?

I have a lot of tread left and cannot justify not using these tires up at least a little longer, so I’m hoping I can install this and not regret it because of the factory tires

With all of that being said as far as tires, I am going to be looking at either 285/65/20 or 285/60/20 nitto recon AT’s on the stock 20 inch rims. I am wondering if I went to 285/65 am I going to be experiencing any type of rubbing or clearance issues from the UCA with the recons?
Also if so, what size spacer is recommended to run with the setup and what would be the max spacer size you can go,

Thank you to anyone who can help me out with all of this info and look forward to reading everyone’s forums!

The stock tires look small at factory height. They will just look smaller with the ReadyLift installed. Only person who will care is you (y)
 
Your truck will look like it skipped leg day. Mine did, i ran it that way for about 9 months. Tires are expensive.
 
I ran my stock wheels 18in and Duratracks after putting on the level kit for a year or more and it didn't look that crazy. I ended up going to a 20in wheel and 35/11.5/20 and the fit is great now Falken Wildpeak R/T01.
 
It’s not going to look that terrible. I ran mine that way until I put bigger tires on it. It’s not like you’re going 6” lift on stocks. Get some 1.5” spacers to make it not look anemic and drive it. Like previously stated, the only one that’s going to notice is you.
 
I have a 1.75” leveling kit from Zone Offroad and I ran 35x12.5 r17 and I think it’s perfectly symmetrical I wouldn’t go any smaller than 33’s with that leveling kit.
 
Thank you everyone. Does anyone run to 285/65/20s nitro recons on the stock 20 x 9 rim with the 1.75 level? I’m just wondering if I’m going to experience any rub when I do upgrade I also plan to run maybe a 1 1/2-2 inch spacer

Perfect if you’re able to run that with no rub or anything, then I should be more than fine with285/65/20 if I’m not mistaken it comes out to 34.6 inch/11.2 wide for the nitro recons .. how do you like the wild peaks? Those were also recommended to me for good all-terrain tires that look as aggressive as the mud tires do. I’m looking for the quietest most aggressive looking all. Terrain tires

I have 285/65/20 with 1.75 RL. They rubbed even after removing the bracket behind the liner fender and mud flap delete.

Replaced the Rancho with King coilovers and was able to get a little more clearance and a significantly better ride.
