    Those still look pretty good! Im having some rubbing on the bumper when i compress fully, rubbing on the frame at full lock, and slight rubbing on UCA's
    Not to sure how to fix it without putting in wheel spacers.

    nothing, all stock expect got a OE replacement air filter K&N.
    i like your truck man. as i was scrolling down i notice your truck is level. i wanted to ask you what type of lift do you have and you listed as a body lift. i wanted my truck to be so level, can't stand the leaning any longer.

    Its got a 3" body lift that i cant stand! I will be removing it sometime in the future. Its also got the leveling kit which is 3" blocks in the rear and a 1" spacer in the front suspension. It doesnt have the best ride, but i will be working on fixing that soon.
