Yo 1BAF150 do your front wheels stick out farther than your back ones do with the lift on?

I just picked my 6" pro comp lift up yesterday. I was going to get the fabtech but it was taking to long to get it. It is still on backorder.

Nope, they sit just about perfect. At least from eyeballing them they dont. 16x10 ProComp 6089 Chrome. Again, I've never taken a measuring stick to it either haha, but nothing noticeable if it is.

And to answer your question b2therad, if you already have a 3" BL, then you will be able to fit 37's no problem.

MY ADVICE HOWEVER:

Go ahead and replace your lower control arm ball joints with lifetime ones from Adv.Auto (your local machining/fabrication shop will be able to do them for cheap.) Also, to make things look a little better...go ahead and take some purple power and scrape your frame while everythings bare..then come back with some Spray in bedliner, and then an Black enamel over that to make everything shine..it looks awesome if you do it right! Just takes time!

Also, while your arms are off, go ahead and clean and paint those. It adds a little extra once everythings put back on, and it helps with cleaning.

Any other questions, Im here so shoot!

The manager at 4wheelparts gave me the pro comp for the same price as the fabtech because I couldn't get the fabtech in.

Man, thats a good deal. And yea, they were really helpful to me when I bought my stuff too. Guy even went and talked to his supervisor on exactly the best deal I could get for everything.

For some reason my wheels rubbed the control arm without 1/4" spacers and even before that they stuck out about an inch farther than the back. Weird.
