Looks good man. I went ahead and got 1/2" spacers just to make sure. saddly i wasn't getting any response here and i needed to place the order. So i'm guessing all will be good.

I thought of doing the same but the rough country’s were on amazon with one day delivery so I said screw it and tried them. But I would like to get some of those Motorsports ones down the line.

Go up to post 399. I posted my setup which is very similar other the difference in offset. I come closest to rubbing on the outside of the tire so decreasing the offset will give you more clearance. You shouldn't have any issues with 1/2" spacers.

Figured I’d share this here for future reference. Running eibach springs with Bilstein 5100. 3” lift with 1.25” rear lift. 305/70r18 (35x12.5) Mickey Thompson atz p3 on a 18x9 -12 wheel fits with no noticeable rubbing so far. Although the spare does not fit in the factory location

Finally got a picture of the shaft angle with my lift

Question

I have 22" wheels with a +25.4 offset

Running a 1/4 spacer

Tires 325/50/22 which is basically a 35 12.50

Installed tubular upper control arms

Bilstein 5100 set at 2.8

Like this, inside of tires rubs upper control arm very sightly

Will moving to a 1/2 spacer and ET lug clear the tires?

Great thread! I have a question and I may have overlooked it in this thread. But I want to run a 35x12.50r20 on the stock rim i will be doing a leveling kit 3 in the front 2 in the rear. What size spacer do you think I'll need to use? I was thinking a 1.5in hub centric spacer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I think it will fit as is. I have 2.6" lift in front and 1.5" Icon springs in rear. I still have 33" on it, but everyone I've talked to is certain 35s would fit without rubbing

1/4 inch will do fine, it’s what I have

Thanks for responding. What brand spacers are you running?

I may try that first and just have a set of 1/4 in spacers just incase.

Rough country, I’d like to eventually go with some hub centric ones though. But for the price it’ll do for now.

I am on a slight incline in this photo, but I feel like there is plenty of room, although my tires are more narrow than yours.

That is a great looking truck! What wheels are you running?

crazykid1994 · Feb 2, 2020

2.5 front 1 rear with 305/70r18 (35/12) fits no rubbing but I have a -12 offset which comes out to about 1” out

Thats a nice lookin truck! Did you recalibrate your speedometer when you changed tire size? If not did it throw the speedometer off by alot?

Thank you. Yes I recalibrated. It’s real easy. I used Alfaobd and just need to know your tires rotation per mile and convert to millimeters and program it in.
