My 06 on 285's with 2017 takeoff rims

So it was a interesting mod weekend. this taco was bought new and handed down to my son. ended up having frame rust issues and missed the recall so a metal fab shop cut and replaced a good bit of the frame. add a leaf and Bilstein's were added a few months ago.
last week put new tires 285/70/16 on OEM 2017 black rims to get some rub on UCA.
Guy that mounted tires said should be fine with a minor rub and did not recommend spacers due to cab mount rub, and he didn't want to do the CMC.
So thankfully I have a buddy with a lift same guy who helped me with suspension upgrade said over beers friday bring it over tomorrow and we will see what we can do. Thankfully he has a plazma cutter welder and all shop goodies needed to chop it up.

after getting it up in the air were concerned with the rusty cab mounts, but decided to grind out rust chop and rebuild. first one was a pain in the ass bit ended up ok. get to second one and decided to search internet for other options. Found a cab mount relocation kit as a better option.
so wasted 1/2 day rebuilding ended cutting both off plated frame and now we wait for the kit.

Here is what it looks like now. first pic is after tires rubbing the UCA when we are done it will have 1.5" spacers and relocated cab mounts.

 

That’s a good looking truck
