I've looked in the "stock wheels and spacers" thread but I couldnt find what I was looking for.

Is the op's fuel sitting at 44 plus 18? I mean that would make sense, his wheels look like they stick out 2.44".
My setup sticks out over 3 inches more that with my stock wheels and tires so no they won't stick out as far. I think a 1.5 or 2" spacer would be pretty good. If I kept stock wheels I probably would have done 2 inch spacers.

The Fuels at -18 would be the same as you running a 62mm spacer (just over 2.5"). Also keep in mind that tire width also a role (but is less critical) in how much "poke" wheels have.

I can say now that I've driven my truck after installing the 2.5leveling kit today that overall after everything it's definitely a stiffer rife but to me it feel better. It feels more stable and controlled and not floaty. I'm very happy with how it all turned out. Eventually I'll upgrade the shocks but not any time soon. I just want to sit outside and look at my truck...lol

Morris I'm pretty confident that you would be happy with a 2" spacer just make sure you get a good brand.

I'm not worried about tire size, you might have missed it on page one. His setup is very similar to what I want to run. The differences are 5100 bilstiens at 2.5" level, factory wheels and probably an AAL. The 305/55 is what I want to run.

I don't think I want that wide, in the thread I mentioned there is a couple guys running 1.25 with 305/55r20's. It looks good. I think the most I would do is 1.5".

I've seen a lot of people complain about the 5100s at maximum height. I have no personal experience though.

I bet 1.5 would look great also especially with that tire size. Really anything is better than stock. Customoffsets.com has bora spacers at all different sizes.
