    Thanks! Ya it's pretty nice. It has the panoramic roof instead of the TV but it has every other available option. I would've chose the TV had it been a choice but it was right car, right time, right price........eventually haha. It was a dealer fleet vehicle so I got a HUGE price break on it.

    Forgive me because I haven't been keeping up on TW over the holidays...and I'm beyond lazy to read backwards, but why are you adding wheel spacers to a LT kit? Even just a 3/4" spacer is going to push out your scrub radius and...suck.

    No idea man..maybe due to the spindle gusset.

    And his tires are wider then yours..and you could have the 4" f5s and his could be the 4.5" f5s...

    I haz spindle gussets too.

    F5's never came in a 4" BS. For 6 lug, they come in 3.5" or 4.5". I have the 4.5" BS also.

    If it's the tires rubbing the spindle gusset...that would make sense though. Presumably 315's instead of 285's, so there will be a little over 1/2" more tire bulge than 285's and I probably have about that much gap between my tire and gussets.

    If this IS the case, and Paul you're reading this, I'd highly recommend ditching the spacers, and just notch the gusset and add a 1/8" plate around the notch. The spindle/gusset will always be the same distance from the tire through the entire suspension travel so you won't have to worry about re-cycling suspension. Just notch the gusset enough to give yourself a little bit of clearance and call it done.

    And to add a bit more besides just an opinion, I originally had 4" BS pro-crap wheels when I first installed my TC kit before I went to the 4.5" F5s. The turning effort, turning feel, and stability is much more pleasing with 4.5" BS. I imagine 3.75" BS by adding those spacers would be even worse.
