Thanks man. 20 x 10 (-12 offset). 33 x 12.5 tires. Barely rubs on drivers side at full lock. Need to get around to grinding a little off front crash bar and will be good to go.

I have a 1.5" spacer sitting in the garage but want to wait for the bilstein to get back in stock.

Although for my driving habits I really don't need the bilstein and I like factory ride.

Aside from the cost factor which wasn't necessarily a deal breaker, that was why I went with spacers (RC 2"). I'd read commentary that the ride was stiffer with Bilsteins. After the spacer install I can tell no difference at all in ride quality. The factory ride to me seems like the perfect Baby Bear spot between too squishy and too firm. YMMV

Did you have to trim anything to keep from rubbing ?

What are your wheel specs? Any rubbing? Did you have to do any trimming?

I thought I liked the factory ride as well, that was right up to the point I put some new struts on the truck then I realized how awful the OEM stuff was (& I don't do any off-roading).

Nice, specs on tires and wheels and do they rub the front crash bars or mud flaps?

I also did the Bils front shocks and the eibach Springs. Can you post a side on side shot for me so I can see what kind of take to have with that size block? And what kind of before/after measurements did you end up with with the spring? You’re the only other person I’ve seen do that spring. I can’t wait to get mine on, just waiting for the Bils to show up!!
