    thanks for the info, those look really good, my tires got picked before the lift and they're a little wider than stock so with the spindles they're really wide.
    also, what rear shocks are you running? fabtech?

    Pics!! And curious as to what size your shackles are? And you should cycle it all to get full travel out of the shocks with the help of the shackles it should ride really nice.
