I noticed after that you have the whole strut, not just the shock. Sorry about that.

Since he's running a RC as you are a 1" spacer is his only option to get additional lift unless he adds a body lift.

KingRanchFreak- what size and offset wheels do you have?

yeah the RCX crossmember is really a 5 inch drop with a 6 inch spacer, so a one inch spacer is all you can do, however, that seems enough to run thirty sevens. I bet your mileage BLOWS with stock gears. do you think thats harmful to the transmission? and highon22s, my current wheels are 18x8.5" wide with 5.71" backspacing. They almost rub the knuckle, It's bad. I need new wheels

I'd say try a 20x9 wheel with a 4.75"-5" backspace. You will want to have the highest backspace possible to were the tire won't hit the knuckle. The highest area of concern for rubbing is on the lower rear edge of the front fender were the fender flare is. The more you can get the wheel to stay in the less it'll rub.

awww I hate to hear that because I really love the way some wheels stick the tire way out. Looks so aggressive and sexy.

Truckin magazine covered an 09 F150 2WD that got 6 inches and 37x13.50x20 on 20x10 RBP wheels...
