Wheel and Tire Fitment

Okay currently I have the Pro-Comp 5" lift. I also have the Eagle alloys 114 (20X10 with a backspacing of 4 1/2). Now my question is this. will 6" superlift springs work with the 5" Pro-comp control arms. If they will do you think i could clear some 355/60-20 AT tires, if i also added a road armor front bumper. I know its a bunch of questions sorry. Thanks

P.S. does Thuren make 6" spring

Thuren will get you anything you want in any size you want. Your only issue is going to be the rim width NOT the tire width. If you could step down to an 8.5 or 9" rim up front you probably won' have running issues. It will all depend on the backspacing. Doing a Road Armor bumper would allow you to push the axle forward up to 1" like Ia m doing which will give you a lot of extra clearance seeing as how the problem is on the "cab" side of the wheel well, not the bumper side.

This is probaly a stupid question but how do you move the axle forward 1". Is by rotating the caster. Thanks D, and of course like you have heard a million times Killer truck and woman

You would need longer control arms to push the axle forward.
