I like it. Thought it would stick out more with those spacers. Whats the offset on the rims?

I don't know really . But I have new 35's on it locked front and back , so I'll let you know . The 1.5" spacers on the front should be a good test for the wheel bearings .
ok well run it hard and let me kno if u have any problems lol

Well I put in some 2.75 degree bushing but that leaned the tires in 3 degrees . So I put the 0's back in and Dustin and I lowered the beam pivot bolts to the lower hole . Now the left tire is in 1.5 and the right is in a little under 3 . But right side is sitting .5" lower than the left and the front looks like it's 1-1.5 lower than the back . So I might lift and level the front a little . What do you think ?




Plus it is towed in about 1" right now .

If you add spacers under your coils, it will start to move the tires back out.

Or you could order some 3 degree bushings lol.

While making a sharp turn the brake line at the caliper hit the shock . Why don't these trucks have a split system ? I had to drive it home with no brakes not even the back .

Damn. Looks like what happened to me outside of Madisonville coming from TB. I had to remove the tee on mine so I only had the front drivers side working, but it got me home.

You get your alignment figured out?
