That doesn’t help me HAHA that’s what I keep toying with in my mind “I should probably go with 1.5”, but maybe that extra half inch would look nice and aggressive”. Lol. Really hoping to get some more pics and members experience before I make a purchase. I also don’t want to trim my studs which I heard if you go with 1.5” that trimming the studs is required but with factory wheels they have recessed pockets and don’t need trimmed.

Also my truck was built later in the half of 2011 and I see that for the spacers they have them listed as working for 02-2011 and 2012-current. I don’t know if my truck being a later 11 technically would put it in the compatibility zone for the 12-current spacers or if it would still land in the 02-11 spacers. The difference between the two as far as I can tell is 1 uses a different sized lug stud/thread pitch vs. the other and I’m. It sure of the best way to determine what size/pitch my lug studs are to confirm before purchasing aside from going to a parts store and buying a set of new lug nuts for a certain size and seeing if they fit or not.

In the meantime everyone, keep those pictures and advice coming!, I’m soaking it all in lol

The 2011 is what you’d go for. And def put 2” on it.

I did a quick measurement of my truck earlier and it looks like if I were to go with 1.5" my fronts would stick a little past my fender flares and in the rear they would be tucked in a little. If I were to go with 2" spacers then my fronts would stick out a decent amount (close to an inch if I recall) and the rears would be just about flush.

I’ve got sport 20x9s with 35x12.50s and 1/4” spacers on the front. I think I’m going to put 1.25 - 1.50 spacers on all 4 corners.

I have been back and forth on whether to get wheels that stick out .74" more, or 1.5" spacers with the stock wheels. Well, yesterday I just installed the new wheels. They do look nice, but I'm kind of thinking I would have preferred the look with the 1.5" spacers better. Oh well, live and learn. :)

I don't have any photos from front or rear to show how much they (don't) stick out. Truck is dirty and yes, tires are due to be rotated. :)
