Thanks man. The Moog Springs are definitely stiffer than stock in the rear but it feels more planted. I don't think the preload on the front struts has effected ride quality much. It rides so much better than the broken autoride did. There is a lot less body roll in corners too.

Any chance to get a pic of the front end angles. I saw this and decided I'm getting 2" spacers for my stock wheels. Once winters over and the road salts gone I'll get some 20x10 or 12s with 33 or 35x12.5s



This has a leveling kit and 2" wheel spacers with stock wheels

Angles are decent pretty steep but not terrible. He posted them somewhere but I cant find them right now. Just for reference you wont be able to clear 20x10 or x12 with 35s at all! You will rub with 20x10 on 33s but can trim to clear. Could do the level and 2" body for 4" lift and then clear x10 33s.

Guess you didn't see my other posts saying I have 2" lower spacers and will be getting another 1" lift from 5100 shocks so I will have the same as op. I will also be doing 2-3" body lift so I will clear 35s on 20x10 -19 offset. Truck clears my 275/60r20 (32.5x10.75 when measured on the truck) just fine now and with wheel spacers or 20x10 I would just need a little trimming. So with 3-4 more inches of lift 35s will clear just fine since the 35s only measure out to 34.5 off the truck

Yeah missed post about running 3" and then 2-3" body lift. It will be tight fit if 35s on x10 and lots of trim if x12s. Just giving you heads up

I know what I'm getting into. If it was for wheeling I'd never even think about it but it's for the street and nothing more than dirt roads or easy trails here and there. This GI stuffed 35s with 2.5/1.5 so with 3 inches more than this it should look alright. This is to stuffed for my liking. And I might end up with a tire that comes out to a 34x12 depending on pricing when the time comes.image.pngimage.png

Yeah I remember that hoe and the stuffing to clear 35s. Keep in mind the wider you go on wheels the more the tire with hit bumper and fender when turning. A smaller tire can help avoid some of the rub with a wider wheel. Keep us posted when you get it all together.

Will do. Rough country has a scratched/dented section on eBay. 45$ free shipping for a pair of wheel spacers. They are returns are blemished ones, only cosmetic issues. 90$ for a set of 4 shipped vs 160 shipped from rc including shipping
