    I’m not ashamed mostly cause I wanted a lift and as a college students you know spending 3k+ isn’t typically an option but anyway I have 3/1 and the only complaint was at first the rear shocks would max out too quick and make a loud bang but replaced them with bilstien 5100’s and the front dif bushing is making noise but other than that I’ve had no issue even hardcore wheeling hasn’t effected anything

    After the 3" spacers and 2" blocks, and 1.25 inch wheel spacers, what kind of rubbing will occur? I don't mind have to take some pruning sheers to some hard plastic :D
    but I've been reading a lot and some people have mention "CMC" in the shop. Sorry, I'm a little knew to the abbreviations. What issues of rubbing have people run into with 285/75/16?

    My main concern is ...Will I need the 1.25" wheel spacers at all? will it push the tire too far out and run on the actual body itself?

    I have to just sit and laugh my ass off when bozos talk about "how bad" a small 1"-1.5" rear block spacer is?!? A little tidbit of info for "those folks"... I just traded out of a 2018 Chevy ZR2 (long story about why I got out of it...but it was a LEMON) and you can rest assured that suspension BLOWS AWAY pretty much any production off road suspension available...and guess what, It has a 1" block spacer lifting the rear end.

    Just sayin...

    I’m doing a 2” front spacer with 1” block on my ‘17 and have zero shame about doing so. The purists be damned I say. I’ll post pictures and feedback after I’m done.

    When you go to the movies do you:
    1) Care if the cinema is nice?
    2) Care if the screen is big?
    3) Care if the sound is good?
    4) Care if the seat is comfortable?
    5) Care if you sit in the far front/back off center seats?
    6) Care if the guy next to you showers?
    7) Care if you like the movie?
    8) Care if it is a foreign film without subtitles in any language you can read?
    9) Care if your truck gets stolen from the parking lot?
    10) Care if you get mugged on your walk home?

    Or would you like a bad ass truck that drives much better than stock and makes you constantly take pics of it for no reason at all?

    5100s here but a block/spacer lift is ok imo. I could give a shit if you have a spacer lift, fox or Bilstein. If it works for you that's all that matters. Fuck it, I have a 1 inch rear block.
