    I think I was having the topping out issue…I think anyways.
    The first couple threads look stripped so that’s just my guess.

    I put the truck on a post lift and it looked like Nemo. Driver side normal down travel, passenger side drooped as if it was long travel hahaha

    There was a while back, but 2.5 coil overs seem to be in stock now at several places. I chose fox elite 2.5's, icon rxt's, accutune's u bolt flip kit, teal falcon t8 seekers -38 offset and jba high castor uca's. Wanted to get it done earlier this year, but I wasn't able to find a shop with an opening for a cmc/pinch weld mod. Then the summer heatwave hit and well, maybe in a few months. :popcorn: I've been tempted to sell the fox's and order king's, but I don't think it's worth the hassle just for the color change.

    nice list!
    hmm I don’t think it’s worth the hassle either. Plus I’m a little biased towards Fox haha

    Mid-travel w/DBs! :D

    Actually, if you have extended or full-length coilovers, you may already be at (or even exceeding) typical mid-travel numbers, depending on what the rest of your setup is... Do you have aftermarket UCAs?

    Will 6" clear 35/12.5's with CMC? Also .75" wheel spacers.

    Hard to say... Different wheel offsets/backspacings will affect how much clearance you have. 34s (285/75R17) on 17x7.5" wheels w/4.5" backspace clear with maybe ¼" to spare. It's certainly possible you may have to chop a bit.

    Forgot to mention 17x8.5 0offset, 4.75"BS, .75" wheel spacers. Already done CMC, only rubs when full lock on reverse. If it clears, I would consider upping my 4" lift to 6.5" rather than CMR.

    Increasing the lift height may lessen the frequency of it rubbing, but it will still rub if the suspension compresses enough.
    You may be able to get that to clear by putting a bit more caster angle on both sides (provided you still have some adjustment left on your LCA cam bolts). Doing so moves the wheel forward, which may be enough to cure small amounts of rubbing in that area.

    actually, I think you’re right haha
    My rear definitely is. The hammer hangers were just the icing on the cake for it

    Depends on the wheel.
    I have 315/70/17 on summit (now called SSW) Dakars. I have a CMC but did it for a piece of mind. I never rubbed the body mount, the pinch weld was the first to make contact. Nice little sledge took care of that

    So what wheel size and backspace is yours? Any wheel spacers?

    If you can do me a favor and measure from ground to center wheel fender.

    17x9 -25mm
    No spacers


    That measurement, will have to wait till Saturday if you don’t mind

    Edit: just realized you asked ground to center fender. I’ll get you the measurements - however, keep in mind mines will be skewed due to the Alcan leaf pack tailored to my use. The front setup, is an OME 888 coil on a full length Bilstein (that coil was reused from my 3” lift lol).

    I say this because I had to measure the Uptop rack PRIOR to purchase, to ensure I’ll fit in the standard garage. The top of my bed, above the tail light, is already 60” hahaha
