Need help with choosing lift height

Bigharm27 · Aug 1, 2015

Hey guys I picked up some 37x13.50r22 mud graps for cheap. Looking to buy a 4.5 icon to clear them. Will these tires clear and also will a 22x11 or 22x12 rim be big enough for those tires. Need some help thanks

With 4.5 icon your going to have to trim to run 37s, with 13.5s I'm almost 100% you're going to rub, both the rims you listed will 'work'. Look up the suspension section. My personal preference would be go 7" icon and be done with no issues

For running rims that wide and a large negative offset, I would agree with StrokinDuty and say go with the Icon 7" or your going to be doing a lot of trimming.

I'm thinking he's going to grab the bumper bracket running that wide

With a 4.5", most definitely. And I think it'll rub on the back side of the fenders too unless he gets the 7".

What about the 11" wide AF's with low offset? You might have a chance with that. Gare is clearing 37's on a 10" wheel with a reasonable offset with 5.5" lift.

With my Procomp radius arms and 13.50 tires I needed at least 4.75" back spacing to clear the radius arms. After I went 8" lift up front with 12" wide wheels with 4.75" back spacing I'm rub free lock to lock. The outer bumper brackets had already been trimmed so I have no idea if the 12" wide wheels would have cleared or not. It seems the extra width and back spacing plays a big role in the rub factor on the outside corners of the bumper.

a 4.5" won't clear those tires on a 12 wide wheel. If the 22x11's are a 0 offset you may get them to clear

Thanks guys. I tried doin it right and putting this new topic in the right section but no one would chime in. And I just don't wanna go sky high with my lift. I want it to be some what practical for towing and cruising. If I have sell these tires then I may just have to cuz I really don't wanna go above a 6 inch lift. Just seems like it's a mall crawler after that and I'm sure it while drink diesel.

Sell them and get some 18/20's with 35's, and throw a 2.5" on it. These trucks are big enough that it'll clear them easily and in my opinion, looks the best. Otherwise a 4" lift with 37's is the other route I'd go, but that's just me. I hate wheel well gap lol.

6" lift 37x13.50r20 on 20/10 -24mm wheels a I trimmed up front and I still rub when I turn and hit a bump at the same time

Just put the Icon 4.5 on mine with 13.50 37 Toyos and had to take the bottom bolt out of the bumper bracket and grind the crap out of them also had to push the fender well liner back to clear them.
