.......when? I'm kind of excited about this.

So, I know you have clearance in the rear. But with the offset of those wheels and the width of the tires, at full articulation, is the tire touching anything? I'm getting new tires in December or Jan (285/75/16) so I want to make sure everything is done prior to that. Only have a week or so left before outside work is no longer a possibility.

Well I haven't tested at full artic because I'm probably never going to be In that situation. But since I trimmed there wasn't been rubbing during conering bumps and some overly aggressive street driving. I think there would be rubbing in a more flexed situation. But that's what the body saw is for

Looks like you have done about as much trimming as I have done. With a body lift and the spacers, you will not have any serious rubbing with this amount of trimming at full articulaiton. Remember, the front on our trucks does not articulate a whole lot. The back articulates alot.
