Wow. Not sure how that was ever bolted back together.

I would run some aggressive wheel spacers to make it clear.

With a level and only a 32" tire, spacers aren't needed. Some say they're dangerous and I'd say don't use them if you don't have to.

I think dangerous is a bit of an overstatement. I suppose it does place more stress on the axle’s studs, which could potentially be a problem.

In a front axle application increasing the offset of the wheel will put more stress on the bearings (or spindles) and ball joints, potentially causing them to wear out faster.

You also increase the tire scrub radius, changing the way the vehicle handles and increasing the difficulty of slow-speed turning.

That's why I said "some say dangerous" as to not fully use those words myself. Just throwing it out there.

Totally understand where you're coming from. I guess, I just felt like, why use spacers if you don't need them, ya know?

Well, I didn't mean to be pointing a finger directly at you

What you say is good sense!

Another issue I pulled out the rancho struts it had that were supposedly 3' lift but look almost identical to the maybe half inch longer than the Monroe struts I bought how is this possible?

How old were they. Compression over time and just plain sagging. Although it does seam like that's a lot of sag.
