Center of the wheel well to the ground, and I would go with spindles but I love my 18s too much

there is your problem right there, you need to measure from the center of the wheel to the fender. takes out the factor of different tires/tire pressure. the djm instructions even mention this

wont align.

in front for plus 5 inches you would need 3 inch a arms and 2 inch spindles and will have to run at least a 22 inch wheel.

you will have no travel since the strut sits lower in a arm will be bottoming out all the tiem.

jsvo has 2.5 arms 2" spindles and 1" with the belltech struts

just a reminder my 4.5/8 drop is on a flare side that has the lighter fiberglass bed so more like a 4.5/6 drop compared to a styleside
