Obviously these angles arent good, but I really cant see it being much worse, if any, than a 2.5" leveling kit. I had 100k miles on an 8" lift with stacked spacers and stacked rear blocks on my last truck. Everybody swore I would have issues due to the angles within a year or two of installing and never did after 8 years.
That looks awesome dude! I am running a +10 offset so even less aggressive than you. My tires are 13.50 wide so that's gonna be the only difference but I'm sure I can make them work. The crash bars are the first thing I'm getting rid of

Front crash bars had to go, cut a third of the rears ones off too and some plastic trimming, but Im rub free now. Switched from stock platinum 20s and toyo mt (35x12.50R20). Now getting better mpg because of the weight savings, even with the larger tires (lost 15lbs per corner).

Thanks man, cant wait to see yours. Yours should stick out 4mm further than mine which is so little you wont be able to tell, but you will be a half inch further on the inside towards the UCA (if your tire is a true 13.5" like mine was a true 12.50).
yeah I'll keep you updated on the progress. They are going on Thursday afternoon along with a borla atak exhaust, cold air intake and programmer. Were you close to the UCA with your 12.50? Because I had a look and they're seems to me lots of room left still

Did you have to trim the plastic and fender right in front of the parallel parking sensor? Because I was just out eyeing it up and that looks like the only place it's gonna contact besides the crash bars

Yes, that's the trickiest spot. I cut at an angle and took off as little as possible. I did get into a fiberglass spacer piece but a sawzall went thru it fine. I was a little sketched out trimming that much but it turned out good.
