i put 295/70 17's on my truck this weekend with mb predator chrome wheels 17x8 with -6 offset. They do not rub anywhere and look awsome. I do not have a leveling kit yet, all stock. Just need to sell my 20" wheels now. Oh yeah, i drive an '04 qc 1500.

Well i got the three inch spindle kit from rough country,and no i didnt have to replace anything but the front shock.

The kit comes with two spindles four shocks and a 1 inch block in the rear which i didnt need but i put in anyway so now i can put a 1 inch space in the fron for a total of four inches.

but there was no replacing any other parts it took about two and a half hours . YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE AN ALIGNMENT tho but jusrt to stock specs.A total of 500.00 is what it was and to me it was worth it. i have heard bad stories after years with spacer that they dry and crack and if you do any offroading the could pop out.

plus spindles gives you factory ride.

I'm just waiting for a good spindle kit for the '06s that will let me use the stock wheels. I found a spindle kit on http://www.performancelifts.combut they say that their kit will not work with the stock wheels, citing backspacing as the issue. Then I looked at just getting some wheel spacers. They wouldn't have to be very big, but I've read on this forum and others that nobody really suggests wheel spacers as a viable option. I'm not going to be doing any hardcore offroading because of the 2wd, but I do want something that will be reliable. I'm looking to get the nose of my truck off the ground and I don't really want a complete lift. Any thoughts?
