    Sorry just a few final questions lol do I need to jack my truck to grease the bushings and joints? I don’t have a jack that’s why :(

    And when I loosen the nuts to grease the bushing what Should I be torqueing them to when tightening..if torqueing is necessary

    You can use your jack that came with your truck under the frame to do one side at a time. I have a fixed jack I put under there as a keeper. Just a harbor freight baby one. You can toss your tire under there too for safety.

    As for the torque spec, I'll have to dig for that one. It's in here simewsome though .

    Will I run into issues with the new Ray 10s in -38 offset 3.5 BS on 285/70/17? Just want to ensure these won’t rub or I’ll be forced to use SPC. I know I’ll be cutting/trimming other items. Thanks.

    Those are great. Mine are holding up well in the northeast with a lot of salt on the roads.

    For reference I am running stealth 6s at -25 and 3.5 bs with 265/75-R16 and have no issues with the UCAs rubbing. However, I had to cmc and do a shit ton of trimming because I am not lifted yet. Less backspacing makes for a much more aggressive stance but significantly increases wheel scrubbing. Many people are running my same tires on stock rims with minimal trimming.
