    Been doing some research on my 2017 DC. Not wanting to do a full lift kit ( very little real 4 wheeling), but looking to lift a little and run meatier tires. These are my thoughts

    1. 6112 shocks up front ( looking for 1-1 1/2" )
    2. 5100's on the rear ( maybe all four corners looking at a few other threads)
    3. Fuel 18" rims ( Vector Antharcite ) Not sure of offset. I want close to stock offset, but do want them to stick out a little bit. more in line with the fenders.
    4.Running 275/65/18 stock michelins. Will bump up a little bit, more in the width than in the height dept. I like a wide tire in the fender wells. not a skinny/tall tire. Mostly a AT tire

    Anyone have any suggestions on this setup.

    If all goes right, will be piecing everything together, so when tires need to be replaced, the entire job can be done.

    Well, pulled the trigger on the rim's. went with a +20 offset. Now to figure out the shocks. Didn't get much response, so will just wing it.:help:

    + 20 will push your tire out less than inch if it's the same width rim.:thumbsup:

    See fine print
    If you want to fill the wheel well get some 305/65 tires and get run 6112’s on 2.5” of lift with a small shackle in the back. That should give you a good ride and the look you want. I would skip the 5100’s as the 6112’s are a better shock. Never such thing as having too much shocks. Nice wheels btw.

    You can stuff 37x13.5 tires under there with that offset and lift if you want. Just gotta trim a little metal. Body mount chop is pretty standard. Then flatten the pinch weld. Trim the backside of the front bumper a tad.

    Here’s my wife’s tuck setup that way.

    And now with 0 offset

    I’m confused on the definitions of work and fit apparently but either way just get what you want and make it fit just be a big boy and don’t be afraid to cut stuff if needed

    ^^ THIS!

    The first cut is the most difficult, but once that one happens then here comes Swiss cheese
