Alright just gonna cut some extra off for the exhaust and mock it up! Recently a friend of mine told me about a site called wheelfire.com and they have awesome wheel+tires combos! Now I have a technical question. Running a 3 inch spindle upfront with a 2 inch block out back, can I fit 33x12.50r20s with 20x10 inch rims without rubbing? The exact tire size is 305/55/20.

I doubt it without a decent amount of rubbing due to the 10" wide wheel.

Hmm, well the rough country spindle is listed as 3 but some people say it gives them 3.5 inches. Same goes with their lift coils, they are listed as 1.5 but a lot of guys have said they get 2 inches out of them. Even on other sites the rough country spindle is listed as 3.5 and it has the same product number. I really like the look of a wide wheel. ive got a buddy running 33x12.50r20 with 20x12s and he had to trim the fender like half an inch. I was thinking with the 20x10s id be fine. And as of right now im doing the spidle lift, save for wheels and tires and then doing the coil springs from rough country.

Just do it haha. Even if they rub, get what you want if you're gonna spend the money. And if they rub, it'll just motivate you to get the coils sooner.

You're right, might as well go for! Lift is cheap but these wheels and tires aren't. Hahah but damn it will look good. My gf's dad has a 99 2 door Yukon lifted and I drove it the other day and I loved seeing all the people staring at me haha. It was a nice feeling. Oh and he paints the interior of airplanes up at Delta and cars on the side. He's gonna paint my whole truck for $300 with ppg hot rod satin! Good bye faded black and missing clear coat lol.

trucks painted

Sorry guys! I've been Mia. But since the last time we talked I got my truck painted and finally convinced my dad to get new wheels and tires for his truck. 33.5s with 18s. It looks great. Also got a new grill for my truck and rewired my subs and my amp. Headlight recently broke so I'm working on finding out what went wrong now. I will have pics up soon! Hope all is well

Nice! Sounds good and cost of everything isn't bad at all.
