So we should have my 6 inch lift finished tomorrow and im pretty excited! Just wanted to double check but my stock wheels should be alright to put back on with small spacers right? Its only gona be for a little bit but I just wanted to make sure it will be ok. I have a 2008 1500 4x4 and the lift is pro comp stage 1 6 inch.

'small spacers' are pretty ambiguous and might make people wary of responding with a straight up answer.

Does the lift kit warn that factory wheels will not fit?
I cannot find a f*cking thing out there for instructions.

Likely if they claim factory wheels won't fit you'll need more than a 1/4" spacer to roll.

The instructions say you will need new wheels but I just need to be able to get it back to the house

I wanna say a member who used to be on here did one on his 4th gen with factory wheels and had to use an 1 & 1/2 in spacer. And with the close of those it may be less costly to have it towed back. Bu don't take my word for that.

Well I ended up having to buy new wheels so they should be in next Friday then it will finally be done. The stock wheels and the 33s I had definitely would not work.
