Man that looks awesome when compared to the before pic. The black Mopar fender flares tie in perfectly with the front and back bumpers. Did you need the spacers for clearance for the 35's or just wanted the wheels to poke out a bit.

I've got the 4" lift and Bilsteins like yours and run the OEM Sport wheels with 275-60-20's & 1.5" Bora spacers for my winter setup. I have the pocket flares so the spacers were necessary so my winter setup didn't look lost inside the wheel well.

I've been wondering if I replace the 275 sized tires with 35's if I'd need to keep the spacers or maybe the 35's would still fit with no spacers with the 4" lift.

Thank you! I love how it's all coming together.

If you can believe it, your truck was one of many looks I "benchmarked" when ordering my parts! I didn't try the wheels and tires without the hub adapters, to be honest.

Wow, thanks brother. I did the same thing when I was deciding on my setup. Asking alot of questions of forum members and taking notes on their setups.
