any ideas on if I'll have any rubbing issues with my 305/55/20 Terra Grapplers on my wiffehs tahoe, just a tbar crank and stock height in the rear, gonna spring for the RC tahoe leveling kit in a few weeks, I just read that there was some issues with rubbing

don't know the offset of the wheels, 20x9 gunner 6s

this is how they sat on my truck

I'm gonna test fit them tomorrow, but I just kinda wondered

:timw::tdog:
 
305 55 terra graps on 20x10 with 3" body lift and cranked. still had to trim.

obviously those 20x9s should fit a little better since its not such a wide wheel.
 
yeah, just your run of the mill z71hoe, white, no door mouldings, black bowtie, tinted up

I'll see if I can grab a pic sometime, it'll probably be this weekend after I put the wheels on
 
The reason that I asked is normally the Z71's sit .5" taller in the rear due to being diff coils (from what I have seen and gathered on forums) I think that once you get the Ford Keys and spacers and flip the bolt on the rear shock so it doesn't rub you should be fine.

I personally would run ford keys, 1.5" rear spacers (not the .75 that comes with the rough country kit) and then order whatever shocks you want
 
oh, I see, it sat like a minivan until last week, then I cranked the bars, now it looks halfway decent

I'll start with the RC kit and see how it sits, I'll put the keys in and get it aligned, I'm not opposed to them having to decrank a little bit if it means I can save my tires, I'm actually kinda happy that the RC kit now comes with the better shocks, I've always just run the shitty white body $40 shocks on all of my vehicles
 
just walked outside and snapped this, definitely still has some rake, but waaaay better than it was

what is this bolt flipping you speak of? just turn the upper shock bolt around so the so the nut is on the opposite side or sometihng?
