    Hmm got one side cut about to start the other... doesn't seem like you gain a huge amount of clearance... but it must be enough to not rub!
    LEFT: cut
    RIGHT: UNcut



    Not welding plates on, well... because I don't have a welder :( LOL

    CMC done. No photos cause I didn't weld the plates on... the satisfaction I get will be turning onto an incline/decline surface and NOT hearing rubbing :D

    Took the truck in for free lifetime tire rotations and balancing courtesy of Americas Tire (California's version, but also known as Discount Tire)
    Marked my wheels and explained and confirmed a rearward cross tire rotation pattern...
    Get my truck back and only the passenger side tires swapped places.

    Upset I called and the best they were gonna do was give me $15 for gas there and back.


    Long story short that was $15 toward (2) jack stands so I can do tire rotations at home :annoyed:
