For those of you who have cranked your Torsion Keys and added Blocks what size wheels/tires are you running? Im pretty stuck on the tire size i want..I'm gonna stay with my factory 17s but cant decide what size to get... Do any of ya'll run a 285/73R17, 295/75R17, 305/75R17, or a 315/70R17 and how much did you crank and add to the rear?

I have 285/75R16, Added 1" blocks in the rear, and cranked the torsion bars just a little, so the tires dont rub.

mine had the keys cranked and a block in the back.... looks like a 2" block IMO

Im running 295/70R18 Nitto Trail Grapplers on 17x8 Eagle 140's.

Had to cut the edges of the bumper that stretch toward the fender well to get better clearance

285/70/17, 295/70/17, and 305/70/17 should all fit. You may have to crank the front a little bit on the 295/70 and 305/70 to clear at full turn, but the 285/70 should fit on a complete stock suspension. They are all roughly 33" tall tires. You shouldn't have to lift the rear at all.

I'm running 275/55/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers on Fuel Offroad 20X9 wheels with a +1 offset. I installed the Zone offroad kit with new torsion keys in the front and 2 inch blocks in the back. No cutting or trimming needed with about an inch to spare.

Cheers,
Ryan

Hey Ryan, with that kit, could you tell me what your fender measurements are from the concrete to the wheel well running through the center of your wheel? I'm appreciate it!

I'll try and get out and measure it tonight. You'll have to account for the new wheels and tires in the measurement.

Cheers,
Ryan
