My 03 4x4 stock height in front clears 20x12 -51s by about an inch.

Your going to need more lift then just a leveling kit. A 2wd with a leveling kit is going to sit lower than a stock height 4wd. And on a 4wd you need a leveling kit with quite a bit of trimming to fender and bumper.

It's not going to clear without a lot of cutting bubba.



thanks man. if I put a 4" lift could I run go ahead and run 35x13.5s instead of the 33s and be good to clear with no trimming

If you guys think your going to run 20x14's on a pre 08 truck with just a leveling kit you're in for a surprise. I had that same size wheel on my 08 with 34's and a 6" and it still rubbed.

WHS. For me to clear my 22x12s and 325/50s with just a leveling kit, my fenders had to be trimmed a lot to allow turning without rubbing.

Don't forget the 99-04 trucks are quite a bit narrower.

They are axle wise, but they also have a smaller fender opening. And leafs that are in the way where coils are not.

True. But a wheel with that high of an offset should never have issues hitting the leaf I wouldn't think.

Mine sits dead level. No block rear and stock front.

Thanks, the truck is leveled out and lowered just a tad. Sitting on 20x12 -44m fuel hostages. 305/55/20 terra grapplers. Minor stretch to the tire. Slight rubbing at low speeds making sharp turns with body roll. Gotta let it rub for a couple days so i can see exactly where its rubbing and cut accordingly.

Leveled out and lowed a tad? Elaborate.

Bought the truck like that so its the best i can explain it, Better than saying stock setup, and misleading someone.
Best i say is its lowered around an inch. 5200 coils in the front then lowered/leveled accordingly in the rear.. On bilstein shocks.

Looks to be, like you said, a little lower than stock height. Maybe 4800 Springs and no rear block. The pic I posted a couple pages back is stock height in the front and 1" block in the rear with the same size tires and they look way smaller on my truck lol.
