    Off-topic question: what kind of suspension did you use in the rear? And how did you achieve 3" with the OME kit?

    I just got off the phone with 4wheelparts. The dude said the 15x8s rock crawlers wouldn't fit unless it had a 3.75bs with a 1/4 spacer. Would that stick out too far?

    They won't stick out far. The pic is of 33x12.50s 4" BS and 1" spacer. If you're running 12.50s it would stick out 1/2" less than this.

    I'm running full OME. I had 3" of lift with the 883 coils until I added all the armor and the winch.

    I love your truck. Few questions:

    I was planning on 33x10.5s. How is the rubbing with the 12.5s?

    So how long were you running the 883s w/o the armor? How was the ride?

    What leafs are you running in the rear?

    I'd stick to the 10.50s. I wanted 10.50s but they were like 4 months back ordered. F that. The 12.50s were rubbing the frame so I added the spacer. Adding the spacer makes it rub the fender more so there was gratuitous amounts of sledge hammer use... they won't all be the same though. You should be fine with 10.50s.

    I ran the 883s for a year before the armor and the ride was great (and still is). I just have stock leaf packs with an AAL.
