Okay, so then what attaches to the knuckle? The CV shaft....which has the spacer attached to it. Which therefore has to be extended somehow.

This is true. Fabtech spacer attached to CV axle.

sweet man thanks for the input! got a question for you ur small, do you think you could take a pic of your front wheel and fender for me! i am hoping there is just enough clearance to make 40s fit.... yes i know major trimming will be needed on a stock bumper but im planing on getting an iron bull and just want to make sure i can clear em with that!

With only 9" of lift I dont think you could. I know a member with 11.5" and cleared 41.5" IROKs and theres another member with 10.5" lift that could clear 40's if he wanted to. You would rub on the back inner fender..it would also depend on your offset of your wheels. I can clear 38's with my 8" of lift but I doubt i could put much flex on the truck or go up a steep incline while turning.
