that's not an option, fabtech uses longer shocks up front, not spacers. several things could work: trim up front, add leveling kit, or just get dirt logic coilovers.

I agree. You may also be able to heat the plastic wheelwell and reshape it slightly or use some zip ties to pull it back for more clearance.

yeah you can melt the plastic back, but the rear problem is the inner fender, to really cure the problem, pull out the liner and trim the inner fender. no more rubbing. my truck rubs there real slightly at full lock, but im on running 12.50 wides, not 13 wide
