Nice choice ... You goin 2” rear spacer, or 3” spring with Bils up front to level it ?

Make sure you get the rear shock upgrade ... It’s a no-brainer

Yes, Bora spacers with your factory 17’s will be fine

ill probably end up going 3" springs with the bills up front to lvl it. and deff getting the shock upgrade. What size bora spacer will I need. I don't want them wheel to stick out a lot from the fenders.

The spacer question is a little outa my ballpark ... Best I can tell you is stand a 4’ level up next to your tire ... Move it out to where you think you want the tire to be ... That gap is the spacer size you want

I have 2.5” BORA spacers now that are perfect for flares.

If you don’t have flares then some 1.25” spacers would work well. I had them on mine before the flares and it was a perfect look.

Anything less than a 1.5” spacer and you have to cut your lug studs

If you get flares you will want them out further than a 1.25” spacer though. I had them with the flares and they sat too far in IMO

So you will want more offset if you get flares but exactly how much depends on your taste

my 1.25” spacers didn’t need to have the studs cut

Most OEM wheels have a recess in the wheel itself that the studs occupy just fine.

So for the OEM big horn chrome clads in 20” I know 1.25s fit perfectly without any cutting

Not true with the OEM wheels I have owned, I found out 1 1/4" spacers work fine I have them on my truck. Why?..... Because the 20" stock wheels or the OEM ram 17" wheels have about an inch deep pockets in the castings between the lug holes so the studs can protrude and not interfere/touch at all.

I have owned multiple solid front axle and multiple IFS front trucks and SUVs, I own a 2500 a 1500 and a 2016 JK right now. In every case the IFS front axle trucks and SUVs handled better and were more directionally stable than the solid front axle trucks and that includes with large tires or any tires for that matter. My 2015 1500 with 35s is a fine driving truck. It is one of my all time favorite long distance driving vehicles and I have owned many.

Dont forget about superlift. I ran a 17" micky Thompson classic wheel on 38.5 x 14.5s up until last year. I had no problems.
