Keeping the stock 20's?

I had 325/65r18's with 18x9 -12mm offset Moto Metal wheels.
A 325/60r20 would fit on there also, a little wider, meatier tire.

I have the stock wheels. They look good powdercoated. And with spacers you can fit 12.5s anyway

I'm hoping to pick it up tomorrow. The guy is doing it for 400 so I'm not gonna rush him. And where can I get wheel spacers? Can I do them when I get the alignment?

There are some 1 1/4" and some 2" wheel spacers both on here and DT for sale. Do the alignment after all the work is finished.

So apparently I need wheel spacers because my wheels are rubbing the spindles. If I could get them locally it would alot better. And I need bump stops too because my truck seems to be missing them...

With the stock 20's you may be able to get away with just 1/4" spacers to clear the spindle. Check any advanced auto or napa, sometimes they carry them.
Something like this:


And you said you are missing the bumpstop? Front or rear? The extensions were included in the kit I sold ya, you just have to re-use the stock bumpstops with the extensions.

Let me know if you have any questions on the different parts to the lift, I know it can be a little confusing since nothing was really labeled. But everything was included.
