    I drive mostly highway and dirt roads with some ocasional light off roading.
    Currently running stock suspension on
    Wheels = 17x9 -12 offset
    Tires = 265/65/17

    Bought some 265/70/17 (same type tires) and they are rubbing pretty bad.
    The same thing happened with my 1st gen. I corrected that with 5100's set at a mild .7 in. to level and clear the tire rub.
    I'm looking for a more aggressive stance with good highway manners.

    Here's what I'm bolting on soon.
    Bilstein 6112/5100
    JBA UCA's
    ICON 1.5" add a leaf


    2 questions-
    1) What's the best 6112 clip position to maintain a ride similar to stock but still have good tire clearance and match the 1.5" add a leafs height?

    2) Will I need anything else to make sure Im not putting undue stress on other components?
    I.E. diff drop, shims, extended brake lines, bump stops, etc...

    Thanks in advance.
