Thanks for all the feedback . . .

I'm right downtown in the loop.

I couldn't even turn my tires when I first got it back so I took it to my guy at the body shop and waaaay too much $ later he tore apart the front bumper and chopped it up and re-welded the edges to make it look factory. He also had to cut away the rear of the opening as well and patch it back up. Now I have full turning ability.

The offset is -44

I bough lariat flares and had them painted.

How do you park downtown with that. I'm in schaumburg and can not even think to park down there with my truck at the height it is.

Any pictures of the fender work, especially the rear of the front? I am going to need to do something similiar.

Thank you, thank you!

Parking is def an issue. That was my main priority when I was looking for a new place to live - they had to have an 8ft garage. (there are only a few down here). Besides that I make sure I know what the parking situation is before I go anywhere and I'm way too **** to have it ever valeted anyway so I just have to plan ahead. The length is an issue as well for street parking - w/o the rearview camera and sensors I couldn't do it!

Luckily it's basically a toy, I walk most everywhere I go. I put less than 300 miles on it a month.

Same here, I would love to see some close up pics of the bumper work and inside the rear area of the fender and how the shop cut/customized to accommodate the wider wheels and taller tires and made it so you have no rubbing.

Have you articulated the suspension to see if you get rubbing during full compression and hard left or right turn? Very impressive if you don't have any rubbing at all!
