    With a front lift just a touch over 3 inches with new uca's, would 1 inch wheel spacers be good enough with 285s on 16 inch factory rim? Trying to minimize the wheel sticking out as much. Thanks

    I have 1.25" on mine and they work fine. but you wont really notice a 1.25 over a 1 imo. I like that they stick out more tho. :)

    Your truck looks great man, its definitely at the top of the list for the most clean and classy looking truck on here, there is nothing better than stock rims on a bigger tire with lift!

    i have 295/70/17's on stock rims with 1 1/4 spider trax and they clear the uca's by over an inch and supprisingly dont stick out an obnoxious ammount. have you tried fitting a wheel on without the spacers?

    no honestly man i havent even got my lift yet, i mean i have my 2.25 spacer in right now but thats my old lift and im just trying to get everything im going to need for my new lift and put it all on at the same time, im trying to get away as much as i can without large wheel spacers so i guess it will just be a trial and error type of thing.

    but thats interesting man pretty large tire and to still be clearing the uca i bet that looks good on your truck

    i tested one of my tires first "without spacers" and it was touching the uca, you might get lucky and clear the uca with your tires. like you said trial and error. many tire shops will test fit the tires for free if you intend on using their shop when the time comes to mount the tires
