Default off road rims

going to pick up some 17inch off road rims tomorrow. 300 bucks for 4 rims with 265/70 BFG rugged terrians on em. pretty good deal i think.

Quick question. If i mount 315/70s on them with my 3inch top gun customz lift with new lower control arms do you think I'm going to have any rub at all?

Just lookin for some input

Why did you waste the time in putting the lower control arms on? There the same length as stock.

I'm running Bilstein 5100's and love 'em. Picked them up from TopGunz.

Have you looked at the stock control arms lately? Made of weak stamped steel and have worn-out rubber bushings. I dont know what kind of arms the Top Gunz kit comes with, but I'd expect them to be made of tube steel and have polyurethane bushings.

For sure. Never hurts to replace parts on a 12 year old truck.

Yes but they only give you lower arms.
