Wow those look really good. I'm interested in seeing how flush they are with the body when you get those installed!

Well according to preliminary measurements, (me and a ruler), looks like theyre going to be at least flush. But I'll be sure and post up some pics once bolted on.

Those get great marks from guys that run them. Good pick. Now LIFT that girl!

I put the 2.5" keys in last night,... and the air-lift bags for the rear arrived in the mail today... with just the keys cranked to about 1/3 she's sitting between 38"-39" in all 4 corners as we speak.... the air bags will ad another inch or two to rear springs. I should have install pictures by the weekend....

Pictures as promised,...tires measure 34x12, 2.5" lift key in front, stock Z71 springs in rear,... had some minor trimming on drivers side front inner fender plastic, trimmed about an inch off the front where it meets the windshield washer reservoir, and a heat gun to the rear of the ds front inner plastic was all it took. These rims are 0 offset and I feel the tires could come out another inch or so. I may ad 1" spacers. All for corners are sitting at 39" fender height, im defiantly going up another inch in the rear..... air-lift bags not installed yet. So on previous trucks Ive always ran two air lines T'ed into one shrader valve, but doing some reading on the issue, it seems that load shift and air transfer is a very real thing, its a hard concept to fathom because you would think 30 psi is 30 psi no matter what,...opinions?

These were 20x10 with 0offset

The offset isn’t going to make it have a lip on the rim. The width of the rim matter. Can’t have a lip a on 8.5wide wheel... need at least a 10”wide wheel to get a 3”+lip.

Actually, if you go back and look at the first pic I posted, the wheels showed a decent lip, the spokes where basically centered in the wheel,...but when the wheel arrived the spokes were actually negative offset and the back where it mates to hub was built up about 3" (see photo of actual back side of wheel). So that was a bit deceiving for me, but the wheels were mail ordered so not much I can do know.

If the wheel is advertised as (0) offset, one would think that the spokes would be centered,...but instead they built up the back of the wheel about 3"

The first pic is a stock picture of like 10wide or 12wide wheel. U can’t go by a stock internet photo. I can tell by looking at the photo it’s not a 8.5”wide wheel. Yes Very deceiving if u don’t know wheel well. The custom offset videos on YouTube have a lot of good information about getting the right wheels for your truck
