Understand that I only need to trim front valence with this setup but if loaded down with a trailer or some weight in the back would trim of the back fender be necessary? Also while I’m here I’m about to replace a cv after I had my keys cranked to hard since it’s been lowered shouldn’t it stop cvs from tearing haven’t had nothing from my passenger side ball joints or cvs happen just my driver side that keeps tearing I hope the tires help compensate it. Anyway any responses help just some last minute thoughts before buying some mud terrains.

Hey guys - I have an 01 Lariat 2wd stock everything. I'm wanting to bump up to some Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws at 285/7r17. Can I crank the torsion bars to make it fit?
