Pardon my language I just bought a house in a new upper middle class neighborhood that is right in the middle of the ghetto and I'm trying to get my street cred up!

Do the tires rub the UCA, swaybar or anything in front or are you running wheel spacers?

Looks great

Thank you

About 1/2" of clearance on the UCA's

No rubbing anywhere. I was at the gas station full lock in reverse and ran over one of those tank covers that sticks up about 3". Hit it pretty hard and I got a slight rub on the fender liner.

No wheel spacers

Tires at 39psi

So no work to the rear at all? Just the Bils at 2.8, right? And the 35's don't rub at all? Truck looks great, too, BTW!

I bought the truck in Oct with 17k on it. The tires didn't have a ton of tread on them then. I rotated them at 22k and needed new rear tires at 27k. I had them rotated at 27k and did this at 30k. I probably should have replaced them at 25k but I had just moved and had to save up for the 35s. Thank you!

No work to the rear at all. Though I will be replacing the rear shocks with Bils 5100 so that I have the same dampening all around.

No rub, no spacers, no cutting, no hammer, no mods at all.

Just Bils 5100 in front set at 2.8!

I can tell there is a handling difference for the better. The steering it tighter, suspension is stiffer.

There is some power loss on the low end. Doesn't bother me any as I am going to tune it.

And I am very happy my truck came with the AMP steps because it feels 6" taller
