The spacers are not the full height of the lift. You get a little mechanical advantage due to the placement of the control arm and the lower perch. It will be greater than 1.75, but I dont know how much.

Ive been rolling my lift for about 5k and havent seen ANY tire wear. I guess i got lucky. My front tires look amazingly in line.
I have 295/70/17s Nittos and they're absolutely amazing. Oh and the AS spacers aren't 2.5" either. Theyre 1.75" and I believe I got just at 2.5" from it.
Just FYI

Alright here we go, that was a walk in the park... A cold wet walk in the park. Why the hell does it have to snow today? The install was very easy after reading the excellent writeup in the suspension forum. The job only took 2hrs and I am very happy with the results, except for the angles on the cv shafts. I will run it like this and if I have any problems out come the spacers. I havent tried 4wd yet but it drives straight as hell. anyways on to the important part pics! These are kinda crappy I'll get some more on Friday when I get the new meats.

All right I am finally back, What a long F'n day! I started out driving to Addison to the TD4L warehouse, that is where I picked up my 285/70/17 Toyo OpenCountry A/T's for only $150.75 a piece. I was going to have them mount/balance/align things but they quoted me at $950. I told them Ill pull around back and we can throw the tires in the bed. After all was said and done I was out the door for $647, good deal if you ask me. From there I went to my local Walmart supercenter. They dismounted the old ones and mounted/balanced the new ones for only $27. After that I went to 4 different alignment places and they were all packed. I finally decided on Goodyear, I only had to wait 45minutes and the alignment cost me $80. So in the end everything cost me $784. That is for spacers($30), tires($647), mount/balance($27), and alignment($80). I think I am happy with the looks of my rig for now, tomarrow that will be another story.
I'll go out and take some pics later I'm gonna kick back a couple cold ones first.

I am going to install them tomarrow and I am picking up some 295/70/17 Terra Grapplers, they should be installed Friday. I just had to tell somebody. Quick question though, will I be alright driving all week without getting an alingment? I figure WTF I am gonna do a sweet burnout before I swap and these tires should be garbage, who cares if the fronts wear funny for a week right???? And yes the 33's will be goin on the fugly stock rims. I'll take a couple of before and after pics cause I know IT DOESNT COUNT UNLESS YOU HAVE PICS!
