    Got a lot of stuff lol
    4in bs (most important number)

    0 to -13 offset is what I found works well. ( I had -44 and ended up needing new rims at -13 for my 33s) I wouldn't suggest going positive offset.

    I use cragar soft 8s which are cheap steel rims. Also don't forget the black box mod.

    Good luck and post some pictures when you get it done. :thumbsup:

    @pugnaxx
    would you change your mind on 235s vs. 30s?

    I lifted my 5 lug with the fat bobs kit: add-a-leaf in the rear and the fabtech spindles in the front. I loved it, made driving the truck so much fun again.

    @97xtracab
    So you bought the spindles separate?
    Also can you send a pic?

    @andrew05 I bought the spindles from CariD (they were cheaper at that time in 2020) but they are also available at Fat Bobs. Fabtech FTS4130-7

    One thing I wish I knew in advance was that these also widen the stance by 1” on each side. So if you get these you may want to get fender flares, and 1” spacers for the rear if you want all your wheels in the same “tracks”. Some off-roaders say there’s actually an advantage *not* having them in the same tracks so it’s your decision.

    to recap: I got the spindles (not the spacers), the add-a-leaf and all 4 Fabtech shocks. Then I put Method MR301 “the standard” 15” wheels with BF Goodrich KO2’s 235/75 R15

    I absolutely loved the new wheels and lift. But then sold the rig because my wife doesn’t drive manual trans.

    @andrew05 - another small thing was I had to bend the metal part of the bumper back so the tires didn't rub. It was surprisingly easy to do with vise-grips pliers. And shave off the plasict part with a sawsall.
