    Looking to purchase a 6" BDS lift in the next couple months. I currently have 295/70/17s on 17x8 with 0 offset. I've heard of guys using spacers to continue to use 17" wheels with the bigger spindle included in the lift kit. Is there anyone on a 6" drop bracket lift with 17" wheels?

    I'm on a 6" DB lift with TRD faux beadlock 16s. Not sure on the backspacing/offset on them, but I used Bora 3/4 spacers to clear everything

    Do not do spacers, Im 2 years into my build and started with spacers to use 17"s. not worth it.

    i have a 6" BDS. love the equipment but its been a very long and expensive learning curve

    Why not? Loads of people running 12" wide wheels with -44 offset so my 17x8 0 offset with a 1.25" spacers seems fine?

    I beat the shit out of my truck with the 3/4 Bora spacers all over Colorado and have never had an issue. I like the clean look of a factory rim, and bought the truck with the DB lift already on it so this was my only option to run the faux beadlock. Works fine for me
