I looked at all those kits as well but I've used RC twice in the past and never had a problem, plus the local shop keeps them in stock. I am sliding in for an early appointment tomorrow morning so I will post pics afterward. I'm guessing I need the 4 wheel alignment since I'm raising the rear too??

You can't adjust anything in the rear unless you get an adjustable panhard bar to re center your axle. But you aren't going up the high so no need to worry about it.

Where did you get your roof crossbars from? And did you remove the factory ones to put that on?

It's done! I like the way it turned out, glad I went with the rear spacer. The measurements before/after @ the fenders were: front-36/38, rear-38.5/39.5. Also glad I went with the 285's, I'm afraid the 305/50's would've rubbed. Here are some pics...looks a lot better in person.

neil I like your setup man, would love to get some nfab bars! Mine are yakima crossbars and mounts. I also have the fairing on there (dont think you can see it from the pic) which is a must. The noise was ridiculous without it.

Nice it looks great!

Think I may stay 1.5 inch on my level since I don't have a rear spacer

That came out great man, I think I will invest in that. I like the way it looks and I am about to get into kayaking and I think it would be a better crossbar. Did you take the factory crossbars off?
