    Honestly, I’m on 37’s and kind of anticipating a little tub work on the bed. Guess I’ll have to get it all together before I get too far ahead of myself.

    I was asking in the past about the minimum thread engagement for heims and it depends on the heim. Should say on the spec page. IIRC the ones on my steering say 75% engagement.

    Good to know, I will check that out. Definitely getting some PVC with the same ID to mock up. Thanks!

    Figure out what the minimum insertion is and then calculate based upon 1/2 the remaining available threads. I would tack weld the tube nuts into your tubing and cycle. I wouldn't burn them in until you know your setup works. If you sacrifice a long tube you can always recycle it into a shorter tube for a spare.

    You won’t find PVC with a matching ID. What I did was cut two slits on each end of the tube, wrapped my heim bung in electrical tape, slid them in and hose clamped the PVC. You will be able to figure everything out doing that. Personally, I set my stuff up with my heims threaded in entirely and no jam nut.

    What are some generic, good and squishy rubber bumps for the rear? I liked the super bumps from my old set up, but curious if there’s anything else out there. Looking at some generic bumps for a 1500

    yeah, if you look at that thread, he's on stock suspension. Must be wheel offset + spacers..

    Nothing wrong with them spacers and long travel. I ran them up front for a while until I got the correct offset wheels

    No no, I mean he's got +6 fenders and stock suspension(see photo), no LT. To achieve the look he has to have some large wheel offset and spacers. I have 0 offset and 1.25" spacers and my tires barely poke out past the OEM fenders. Though, I'm currently on 255 33s
