    Haha, well I have a few days. I am sure you will get another buyer before me. Unfortunately this is a purchase that keeps giving. If I get this I will most likely need new leafs, and I will for sure need new break lines.

    Sorry guys! After reading through some more about the kit and taking measurements on my truck I would be rubbing the shock body with my tires. I dont want to run wheel spacers and getting new wheels with more backspace is out as well so the kit wouldn't work for me.

    What would rub? I don't feel like buying new spacers again and new wheels are not an option either. I am currently running wheels with 4.5bs and .75'' spacers.

    Are you running those spacers in the back? If so you should be good. Check out @Nate87 's build thread. He has this set up and he had to run a 1/4" spacer with the Method NV wheels with the same backspace.

    I don't plan on running spacers with the same backspace, but I'm not worried about rubbing a tiny bit.

    In the original BAMF thread where they installed the kit on @sytfu510 truck they found that the tire would rub the shock body when the suspension was flexed. He was running 35" tires so I figured it would be a non issue with my truck since I am only on skiny 33" tires. That being said, I have the stock steel wheels which don't push the tires out at all. I hate them for this reason but my wheels get beat up so much I don't want to spend money on nice wheels with better backspacing. Looking under my truck today and trying to see where the kit would go I don't want to risk it. No sense in saving money on a group buy if I just have to pour more money into other things to make it fit.

    If I could guarantee they would fit without rubbing I would be in without a doubt, but I don't have much space as is.

    Loco had the exact setup you're talking about before he totaled his truck this summer

    Wait so i will need to purchase wheel spacers also if i go with these? I have plans to get SCS SR8 wheels in 16s and run the stock rugged terrains with Dakar leaf package when i install these. Will i have rubbing issues?

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    Thanks Nick! :cheers:

    I just checked out his build thread - looks like he had some pretty good flex in the rear with that setup, but he also had a little more weight with the Rear Bumper and RTT....I'm guessing this setup would put my ass end pretty high until I have more weight back there.

    I'm gonna continue to let these parts sit in the garage until I have enough $$$ to do it all at once and do it right!

    I am probably going to jump the list to 4 kits tomorrow. My question is, what else is going to be needed. I might need a new leafs. I will need extended brake lines, bump stops and...anything else?
