I like the 3rd gen wheels to. I would recommend not lifting it. Some guys run 37's with just a level. I think it looks much more stout and not like a mall crawler.

Well got the tires on this morning with no problems at all!

I cleaned them up and snapped a few pictures, some of them better than others lol.

The right front tire barley rubs at full lock on the control arms. Thinking about just putting a 1/4 spacers on to get rid of it all, or possibly just grinding a little off the control arms. But it really doesn't bother me.

No lifts, I will probably space the back end up to make it truly level.

Thanks! Do you think a 1/4 spacer would eliminate that small rub I get at full lock?

If it rubs on the control arms lift won't fix it. Unless you're talking about a WHEEL spacer, which most on here think negatively of. lol

Yeah I was referring to a small wheel spacer to get the tire further out from the truck.

Don't get spacers they will just make the unit bearings go out faster. Maybe you could just avoid full lock or get aftermarket bent arms.
