    Will these adjustable shocks give me enough room to put some 285 75s on and keep most (hopefully all) of my turning radius? Stock 16 rims

    285's will rub in many different place, going to need to trim back fender flares, do a CMC and weld in plates, and maybe even trim the fender back to allow for clearance at full lock when the shocks are compressed... But they look good :p

    And I think you will need wheel spacers but not sure to put 285's on as they might rub the UCA

    I ran 285's for awhile without spacers and they rubbed on the fender flare as well as the cab mount. With the right back spacing it shouldn't rub the UCA's, I'm running stealth 6's from @stealthcustomseries. It was manageable to drive like that on the street, but you can't drive aggressive by any means without trimming.

    Spacers made my tires rub so much more, because the wheel is pushed out more although I did go with 1.25inch spacers

    Thanks for the feedback, with the shocks alone how big do you think I could go on tire and be clear of fender flares?

    Anytime! 265's for sure, MAYBE a 275 but I have a feeling it'll rub :goingcrazy:
