I have a 6" lift, need help fitting 35x12.50R20 tires. Any advice?

Personally I would recommend him to look through jdpbr's thread about the wheels as he is running 20's with 35's on a 6" lift which is exactly what the OP is wanting to do.

So I have a 6" Fabtech lift kit on my 2001 LT Suburban 1500 4x4 Autoride. With BF Goodrich A/T KO2's 285/65R18. Currently, I can turn all the way left to right no rubbing what so ever and fortunatly no trimming of plastic. Ride quality is amazing too.
(Fabtech recommends 305/70R16 with minor trimming of front bumper plastic trim.)

current gears GT4 = 3.73

I can't understand why my 6" lift isn't as tall as most of your lifts on here on the forum. You guys fit 35x12.50 tires all day.

What I want to do is get another set of black wheels and put a set of 35x12.50 tires on them. I feel my tires look to small. In order to do that correctly I have to go taller by at least 2-3". And yes, I would have to upgrade front and rear diff's to 4.56's and get a tune. Great more $$$$$

Don't really want to do a 3" body lift.

Has anyone ever put torsion keys and rear coil spacers in addition to a lift kit? Is it safe? Or possibly create bad driveshaft angles? Idk... any advise would be great.

I also thought of changing brands of lift but its already cut up under there for fabtech and a lot of other brands need what was cut out. LOL SMH

if you crank further and dont like the cv angles you can throw cv's from a 08 silverado in and ditch the spacer. they bolt right in and give better angles.

I work at advance everything gets replaced long before it goes bad expecially suspension parts and I haven't noticed any excessive where

You do realize that is only "kind of" solution out of many to over cranking?

I will await suspension pictures before commenting further.
