+1 on the spacer info Thunder. I need some 1/4inchers myself, mine are rubbing pretty good, even before full-lock.

A little on the inner fender liner(plastic part) when turning. Not completely sure it is because of the spacers completely since the tires are HUGE on just a leveled truck. It will be great when I get the Body Lift done.

Will the body lift change the spacing between your step bars and body or will they go up also? (sorry not sure how those things mount)

Some mount to the body some to the frame, mine are attached to the body so they will go up also. The only thing that wont move is the trailer hitch, and I saw a guy move his up after a BL, and it looked real good. So i am looking into that!
