Did they rub at all? What did you do to make them fit, any suspension work? Im hoping to get 2" with the torsion bar and put 2" blocks in the rear to fit bigger tires. Id rather tall over wide, I want the ground clearance, but its good to know I have that as an option!

Yeah, they rubbed. I had it on a 3" Fabtech suspension lift. I had to trim the front bumper, and ended up trimming it all the way up to the way it is in the picture in my sig. I also had to trim back some of the metal bodywork on the rear of the front quarter. It still rubbed after all that when I had the wheel fully tilted and was backing up. Cranking the torsion bars really stiffened up the ride from what I have heard. Mine was a 2WD so I wouldn't know. I loved the combo of the Fabtech and the 33's. I had nearly 2 feet of clearance at the steering rack with that setup.

Ya Id love a suspension lift but Id rather do what varsis is doing a and go all out with a SAS. But that wont happen so Ill settle for what I can get

Well I bet that the ride with the TB and blocks would be smotther than my granite like shocks. Iv put 75k mi or so on my truck since Ive owned it and I have never done them. Will feel like a big caddy or crown vic when they get fixed, at least to me
