2020 G550 Baja design LP6 and 30mm spacers.

Hi guys,
For all of you in the fence trying to get your G’s ready for proper off road driving.

H&R 30mm spacers
Baja design LP6 and reverse lights
light brackets are from Vivid racing
reverse lights are also Baja design.



Tires don’t stick out from the top of the fender.

I tinted the lights to match the smoke tint of the night package that my truck already has.



Reverse lights

Yellow lights work with alarm or yellow lights of the G ( this picture was taken before wheel spacers )

See how flush the tires look now.

How's the ride with the off-road tires and spacers?

The ride is just a tiny bit stiffer but really I don’t remember because I bought the tires long time ago. The spacers really didn’t make any difference.

Tire size is 275/55R20.

If you're planning to spend serious time on off-road gravel, I'd pop for a set of rear mud guards. They might look a bit dorky, but they'll help save you from paint chips in the lower quarter panels. Knobby tires collect rocks in their treads, and as soon as you return to pavement and hit highway speed, the rocks will fly (unless you take the effort to pry them out). It'd be a shame to destroy your beautiful white finish.

I have PPF all over but it’s not a bad idea for those longer trips on country roads.

Looks great. I generally dislike the OEM rear tire cover but the letech mount looks terrific. Congrats. Great setup.

Just noticed the reverse lights. Nice. How do you have those wired up inside?

Thank you. My plan was to wire them to the reverse lights but if was hard. They aren’t wired now but I’m waiting for a longer wiring harness to reach the cabin and I will have a switch next to the front lamps. I’ll post a picture once I wire those.

Looks great! Agree with the rear mud flaps. Not very expensive and easy to install.

you still use the originals but you need the ones that come with the spacer to bolt that into the wheel hub.

i just bought the same spacers and tires for my G550.

What is the process to wire the fog lamps and back up lights?

Awesome, post pictures after you are done. I didn’t install the lights myself but I believe they grab the power from the top amber lights inside the hood. I will have to ask the tech that did it. As for the reverse lights I plan to hook power from the tow conector. I did that on my TRX and it was easy. I will let you know if I was able. For now they are just for show lol

Can you post a pic of how you installed the switch? I was hoping to utilize one of the blank switches in either the center console or the switch box above teh hedlight control but im starting to think thats not possible

Tire rub is the only downside of the spacers and oversized tire.
But looks and drives greay!
