I will take a pic of the back today. So if there are no spacers in the back either, What would be the next step ?

And thanks for your help Mark.......

You will need a different off set to bring your wheels out even with your bushwackers.. options are keep the stock wheels and add a hub centric set of spacers or buy new wheels with the correct off set.. you will need to either level the front end buy installing a leveling kit or some leveling struts.. 2" to 2.5" got to measure. then you will be able to install up to 35" tires. wheel size is your choice.. do you want more rubber or more wheel..

Well, I just had new struts installed 6 months ago. So I'm not doing that again, So what is a leveling kit ? Is it rubber bushings that go in-between the spring ? And i like more tire..

And i appreciate your helping me....

No... it's a metal (perfered) spacer that gets installed on top of you coilover.

Makes sense having struts. I was thinking of what people did years ago with regular coil springs. My bad. lol So this spacer on top of the coiler over should keep the wheel alinement ??

Ok so, I have to measure ground to wheel well front and back to see what size spacer i need to make the front level with the back ?

Then i have to determine if i want new off set rims to bring to new tires out or spacers behind the original rims ?
