3" body lift + 3" suspension lift..........took the truck to my cousins who is a mechanic and we were working on it about 5 hours yesterday and got mostly everything done. I learned alot also which was nice. Apparently the wheels come out like that because he put a spacer to make the wheels portrude more i guess it is a latino thing but in doing so because of the stretching it broke 3 threads that i need to replace. So right now each of the front huge tires is only being held on by 3 lugnuts. The other thing he didn't take in account when he lifted it is the changes a lift has on the truck as far as stretching and moving. I would bet him and maybe some friends did the lift themself and it was not professionally done, so we had to go through and tighten alot of bolts and put washers on them. Overall though my cousin said for the year and stuff the truck is in remarkabe shape little to no rust underneath it and everywhere on it. The guy however was very fond of duct tape and zip ties lol.
Do you know what type of spacers they are? If they are the type that just slides over the lugs and doesn't have new lugs then they are EXTREAMLY unsafe. If they have there own lugs they can still give you issues depending on the brand.

Ok that means this is definitely fixable. I was worried he had topped lift spindles with lift spacers. Ditch the spacers and go with the spindle lift and your ride quality will be much better.
Ill have the prindle in the mail to you today. I am pulling it off my spare cluster so I guarantee it will work for you.
