will the 275/55R20 goodyear duratracs fit without lift? They are still a 32" tire, but have the extra width of the 33" 275/60R20. I haven't seen many examples of people using this size, but it is listed on the goodyear website. Everyone seems to go with the 275/60R20's with lift, or the 255/60R20 without.
This thread (No Lift tire size guide)should be stickied as well, a lot of good info in it. The thread title runs counter to the purpose of this one which might be why it isn't stickied. People giving their experiences with max tire sizes without lifts. I found it immensely helpful and still am considering the Johnson Rods. Many people in that thread list that they have good success with 275/55R20. Personally, that is what I'm going with (Ridge Grapplers - LT275/55R20 E 120/117Q - 32.13H x 11.18"W) and even if I get a lift, I'll stick with those for the increased articulation.
Excellent clarification, thanks. Can you please explain further why you'd take them off for off roading. If I understand correctly, it jusr increases all three heights by 1.5". So wouldnt that help with approach angles, etc, even in off road height setting to have an additional 1.5"?
I would be interested in the answer to your question also. I'm a complete novice as it relates to air suspension.
We use the 1.5 inch with 20 inch wheels with a majority of the builds and 275-60-20.
If you have more negative offset that will be even better to push the wheel out further.
Some customers are using 30 mm spacers to get additional offset.
