    Anyone want to answer this for him. I think he will have a problem clearing the spindle/UCA with this setup.

    His answer is here in the specifications on the spindles

    I think it's more about the width than the height. If the 12.5 will fit with just spindles and no uca upgrade that's what size I'm going with.

    I'm running 16x8 4.5bs with 315/75's on them and I'm hoping to clear with the spindles and camburg UCA's with no spacers. We'll see though.

    Shouldn't. I'm assuming they're 17x8.5 or 17x9, right?

    Might have to trim the cab mount ever so slightly. But other than that and maybe some front fender liner, I don't see any major rubbing going on for ya.

    17" wheel with 4.75" BS will clear a 285 if I'm not mistaken. The question is will it clear a 33x12.5. In Jake's case will it clear with 4.5" BS

    There have been lots of wheel fitment questions here lately? Here in SoCal lots of guys run maxtracs ( since they're just down the road ) including myself. I've seen 16 x 8 - 22 x 14. Used with these spindles. The bottom line is every application is different and in most 95% cases you will need to trim or cut slightly to clear without rubbing. Unless you run a 265. Most wheels will fit without wheel spacers. Except stock. I hope this helps answer some questions. I run 285. 17x9 4.75bs -5 offset. And have maxtracs with icon (set at 0") set up and had to trim plastic. and cab mount trim.

    Off set of the wheels can also be a factor

    So I made it back down to 27.5" hub to fender in the front. But now I'm thinking about just going big for the sake of being big. Still have some alignment to go and am on stock UCAs so I can certainly go taller. Only thing is I will be going through ball joints and tie rods and what not.

    If i get new leaf springs either OME or allpro expos will that still give me a rake in front?

    Many thanks to everyone for the info in this thread !! Headstrong Rocks !!

    Finally have the Maxtracs on my truck and the ride is great with the 5100s at 0 ... added a 1" block with the previously installed Deaver 2" AAL on the rear axle ... .75" wheel spacers also

    still have a little takeoff vibe and also around 20-25 mph ... No vibes otherwise with no CB drop

    Front wheel bearing hubs changed with new spindles which may have been my vibe problem in the first place ... I don't know ... don't really care at this point. Minimal vibes = happy me

    Only question is the front tires seem to be sticking out farther than the rear ?
