Lift for 20" rims

Frame off restore currently taking place and I will be purchasing lift next month. I was originally going with a 2" but I have just come across a good deal on a sweet set of 20" AR'ing & I have recently seen a few of our member's rides with 20" that look pretty sweet so I'm now thinking of going with 20s. Finally the question: What lift needed to fit 20" rims ? Thanks for any thoughts or help. If lift for 20's is going to be a lot of trouble I will pass.

Re: Lift for 20" rims

I think tire size, heel width and offset are more factors than rim diameter.

Re: Lift for 20" rims

Yeah tire size mainly matters for lift. 4" will fit 33 easy 35" with the correct offset etc..

With those 20's I'd go with some nice low profile rubber bands and suspension drop

Re: Lift for 20" rims

heres 4 inch lift with 33/18. i was going to go with 20's also with a four inch lift, but i got the tires and wheels for a steal i couldn't pass up. still kinda wish i would've gone with 20's, but saving 200 bucks a wheel and i couldn't refuse.

Re: Lift for 20" rims

Here's a pic of one I had on my computer. I don't know any of the spec, but it is nice looking.

I think that one fits the bill! A decent sized wall on them, but looks like a fairly tall lift.

I believe those were 37's, but it was a while ago. It was owned by a board member who basically bought the truck with the ralley's you can see in the background, put on the big rims and sold it.

you could always go this route
