Not sure why this happened, checked all parts that could cause it nothing is broken or bent. Passenger side tire started rubbing on the tierod end sometimes. Driver side still had 1/4” clearance. All I can figure is the tires are breaking in and mushing out more.

Passenger side, a hairs clearance

If you look at the first pic just above the tierod you can see where it has rubbed a small groove in the tire. It started rubbing this weekend and today on the way home from work I decide to not risk it and throw these on while I wait for 1.25” spacers to be made for the front.

Took some random dirty pics while tightening the spacer lugs. Just thought I’d share for the heck of it since I daily the truck it gets nasty and it’s almost never clean. I pretty much clean it and take photos so I can remember how nice it really is under all that grime.

Thanks! It’s been a journey so far and I feel like it’s just getting started. Still got a lot of things I want to do, just picking at them as I can.

Just put together this transformation photo

Looking good! I personally liked the looks of the 20x12's and 33's on this lift the best, but still love the old school 16's and 36's

I really liked the 20s and 33s, they didn’t effect power that much and it took amazing pictures, like the photo with the trailer, it looks so wide and mean. But in reality, in person, it never looked like that photo at all. It looked weird, huge body towering over these mediocre 20s and 33s, if I had stayed with that style I would have went 22s w/ 35s or maybe 24s w/37. Still might go 22-24s and 37s in the future.
