Wow AT. Those Nittos look at least as fat as my 305 BFGs. Love the whole look of your truck including the color; I've not seen one set up quite like that.

I used them as a reference to build my own set using all heim joints and 1.5 inch tube there's a pic of the Panhard bar
On page 14 still building the truck so haven't been able to test yet. The upper arms are tight to tires will need spacers or offset wheels. I didn't notch them like spohn did.

That's a super clean rig! Not sure why I feel like everybody else's trucks look so beefy with the 285/70/17, and I feel like mine looks tiny. [emoji20]

Going to go bigger here soon, if that doesn't cut it I'm doing a 6"!

I had the same issue until last week when I installed the wheel spacers. The tires were hiding under the truck too much. Hope this helps.

My wheels are 17x9 and have a little more offset, the wheel is about even with the fender flare. Hoping a 305/70/17 or 33/12.5/17 will give the stance I want. If not I'll probably swap wheels rather than put a spacer on a wheel that's already kind of far out.

Ok after seeing the pics, without a doubt you need those spacers! Especially with the flares, it doesn't look right at all in the back without them.

Looks like the Nittos bulge out a bit at the sidewall, so they look fatter even if the tread is 285.

I've used spacers (adapters actually) for many years with zero issues. Even launched my t-bird hard enough to bend an axle in the 8.8 rear with no issues on a 1.5 spacer. However the tire shops (discount tire in particular) have given me grief over them.
