    2018 sport, wheels are 20x9 with -12 offset with 275/55/20 duratracs
    Rubs at half turn on the cab mount.

    anyone running this setup?
    what lift should I get?
    I would like 2 inch lift with 3 inch max.
    I never off-road, all city drive. I really don’t want to spend on an expensive lift. thanks for your time

    Ok, seriously Op, you either need spacers or different offset rims. Lift won't change much.

    Anyone else notice how the 20" wheel club doesn't seem to read into clearencing at all compared to 16/17" wheels. I mean don't get me wrong there's still the completely clueless in that crowd but it's like 30% compared to 100%

    Also the answer is always 6" drop bracket with 20's

    Positive caster and 0 offset may give you a bit more clearance but it's more or less a myth that lift (atleast more subdtle < 6" ones) will help you clear larger tires. They'll help with rubbing at the top of the fender well when articulating but not so much the body mount area.

    Compared against my tire. My tire clears with room to spare.

    But then again, I'm running 255s with +4 offset. If you poke a 20" fattie out beyond the fender flare, there's no lift in the world that will help you. Not unless you only drive in straight lines.
