    nope, no way the stock rims will fit unless you put spacers or you get 17s

    but 4.5 is the max spacing and you need 4.75?

    I would honestly go with saying 4.5 is the minimum back spacing you'd need. Not sure if 4.75 would fit or not, but my 4.5 seems way too close as it is. It might...but it would be waaaay too close for my liking

    Totally late reply, but the caster should be moved forward to avoid kissing the pinch weld. 3.5-4 degrees will help and if anything completely clear it. I had the same wheel tire size before and had my caster set to the above. My current 305 tires are rubbing pretty bad on the pinch weld and fenders and I've cut a lot of plastic and also have the cab mount cut and welded. Only happens when I turn and hit something hard.

    btw, Firestone unlimited alignments $150'ish I think. Well worth it for our trucks as tires and offroading tend to knock things out frequently

    When I go forward I can turn all the way, it's just when I backup for some reason

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    what wheels do you have? I dont have that issue at all with my 16s, they're 16x8 with 4.5 BS 0 offset. I saw yours are 16x8.5, maybe thats whats causing it

    So, I installed my spindles, Icon extended coilovers and DSM UCA. I had an alignment done right away. It drove great on the streets and slow speed fwy traffic :/ I finally got it pasted 55-75 and the steering wheel shuck like balance was off. Then I stepped on the brakes at 60 and it shick like I crazy. I drove it home on the streets, and checked every nut and bolt... It's all tight but still shakes. Does the alignment specs have to be a certain way now? I will post the alignment sheet later.
    Any ideas

    Also, I'm running 17" atx wheels no spacers 285/70/17. Balanced good, as I didn't have an issue before.

    I didn't have the issue with the wheels with the stock spindles when I had the Bili's and eibach's at 2.5. There is planty of clearance from the wheel to the spindle would the hub rings still be needed with the new Spindles?:notsure:

    From my experience with owning vehicles when installing aftermarket wheels and there was a slight vibration like you were mentioning after I installed the hubcentric rings it was eliminated.

    Ah' I just don't see why it would be an issue now and not before. Only thing that changed is the Coilover and Spindle. Here's the spec sheet giving. I'm going to take back in this morning.
