    @hungoverland on IG, King 2.5" EXT Travel w/ Archive Garage shock relocation, Icon RXT leafpack, 285 Nitto M/T's, bronze Raceline Defender wheels, TJM front/rear bumpers, TJM Sliders, Prinsu Cabrac, Katzkin leather, RSI Smartcap EVO topper, OV Tuned, MESO everything, Spyder headlights and tail lights, center mounted infant restraining system (CMIRS) \m/
    I can vouch for 90% of this package (I have all of it besides the leaf pack) and it is hands down the best money spent on my truck. Eric personally talked me through (and eventually sold me on) his U-bolt flip / bumpstop setup and answered my questions on my specific wheel tire setup.

    With that said, the wheel/tire setup is changing. I am going from a 285/75/16 on 0 offset wheel and 1.25" spacers (Eric recommended 1.5" and I should have listened) to a true 35/12.5/17 on a -25 offset wheel. Do I keep the spacers I have on to keep from rubbing the rear shock body that I already graze at full stuff despite the -25 offset I will now have? Sounds like an aggressive offset with those spacers, especially up front where the scrub radius will be wild.

    I appreciate any intel that anyone can offer.

    Thanks for the review! FYI, our leaf springs deliver the goods just like everything else.

    I really need to wheel width to properly answer your spacer question.

    If you were to get a 17x9 et-38 3.5 then the 1.25" spacers will work with 12.5" wide tires

    I don't doubt it, I'm sure I will get the final piece to the rear suspension puzzle soon enough. This is the specific wheel I got mounted to some 35/12.5/17 Falken Wilpeaks :

    I'd go 2" spacer for 12.5" tires and 4.3" BS
