Well, I dont know what the hell Im gonna do about the spacer situation. I was just gonna go with the $10-a-piece 1/4in ones from Advance Auto. But after reading around here, the "hub-centric" ones are safer/better, but way more expensive. Of course I wanna run them on all 4 corners, but might have to do 2 at a time, get those front tires off the upper control arm. They don't rub all the time, cause I can see a little space in between the rubber and metal, but its rubbing somewhere along the turn, just can't tell while driving.

Thanks for the compliment btw.... Its growing on me...

I think it looks good, and I can definitely see the difference in the level from stock... I loved my HBS leveling kit that I had on my old 98, really made that truck look aggressive.

When purchasing wheel spacers make sure you are getting spacers that are hub centric. This means that the spacers are centered to the wheel hub and are not going to cause a massive amount of vibration because the wheel is out of center. Many cheap wheel spacers are lug centric and will cause all sorts of vibration and damage to the wheel bearings.
