Ok so I will try out the ones I have and hope that they work. If not I can return then and return the tires and get 33's

You just need 1/4 inch spacers to keep from rubbing. Either that, or some people have heated up where the tire rubs at full lock, then put a board on it, and push it in a little bit. I believe that DodgeNitto did that on his truck. Shouldn't need big spacers.

I am using him as a guinea pig as well seeing how 35's with a level look on a white truck and I am ordering the 1.5" spacers to go with the 35's and i should be fine plus 4 new shocks all around to help keep them on the ground smoother looking forward to the finished pics man and i would just like to say i will be jealous when it looks good because i have to wait till sept for those Nitto Trail Grapplers as I ordered them today and get them as soon as they are produced in 17" rim

My wheel spacers are only 7/16. I will put up pics tomorrow with the 35's on.

I think you'll be fine. I was going to try 1/4" spacers cuz I can get 'em for about $25 a set...if they don't work, then I'm not out much.

Agreed.

Anxious to see the pic's, and to hear if there are any issues. Like I said before...mine rub the sway bar (only at full lock) with no leveling keys or spacers, so I'd like to know exactly what I need to do to solve the problem (spacers, keys, or both).
