RC 6" lift with 17" rims anyone?

I currently have RC 6 lifts and I really like to switch to 37s with 17s. I have been told the knuckles are not designed for 17s, wonder have anyone here already tried that out?

 

I was under the impression it all depends on offset and backspacing.

 

That is what I thought... RC website doesn’t have 17s on their recommendation list

 

I had a T that I bought used that had a RC lift, I put the RC coilovers and extended rear shocks, It got rid of the spacers up front and rear blocks, the ride was a whole lot better, but be sure to take to a off-road shop to align as your geometry specs have changed, cause most alignment shops go by stock height, so you need to go to it off-road shop to align properly

 

I have really good shops for all that locally to me, what tire and rim sizes you run on yours?

 

Use search bar, there is a thread called

DIRTY SEVEN CLUB

 

Don't have it no more, I believe I was on 35's with 18's or 20's, I hated that look, too much wheel not enough tire, I didn't know what I was getting into when I bought it that way

 

Should've changed it up!

 

Same here, when I lifted my truck I wasn't into the hobby I am into now. I had 35s with 20s, now I really love to get 37s and 17s

 

Yeah I like that look a whole lot better

 

Shouldah wouldah couldah

 

Does the fact that it’s RC matter? Lots of guys here with 17s

 

my local vendor for lifts and wheels told me the knuckle on RC would not support 17s rim, he recommend me get a different lift, but I doubt that...

 

Pic?

 

I will take some after get home from work today

 

also called RC, the guy on the phone say the thing on the knuckle that holds the tie rod won't clear with 17s

 

Shows what I know. Who’s doing the work for you?

 

If it's just tire and rims I usually just have the shop closer to my house mount and balance it and I change them myself at home.

 

Spacer?

 

I don't want to run spacers...

 

Here is my current knuckle from RC
