AS 2.5 Front 3" Rear Block
yea i installed it my self, my dad works for a car dealership so i went in after hours and used a hoist. with the axle completely in the air it did shift a little which it prolly wouldnt do on the ground but by removing the lower shock bolt you can move it back into place and line it up with no problems.
I went with the AS 3" block kit, included new blocks to replace the factory ones and new hardware ie longer u-bolts and locking nuts. the kit was right around 100. highly recommend. made from thick steel instead on aluminum. his info explains it all.
that looks absolutly insane... my tires stick out less then those and i have 285/70/17 and a 17x8 rim with 4.5" backspacing and no offset... everyone on here told me not to get 315/70/17's.. i dont see why they told me that because he did the same thing.. when my wheels dont even stick out as fair as yours stryker
Do you have any issues with rubbing up front? I just ordered a Ready Lift 3" front and 3" rear replacement. I am going to run BFG's AT 315/70/R17X9 but was told to run a +25 offset to closely match the stock wheels. I like the look of yours with the 4.5 back space which, if I am not mistaken, means your wheels now sit out an 2.5" further than stock. I wanted to run the 315/70's so when I can afford it I am going to go to a 6" inch coil over front setup with Skyjacker replacement springs in the back without getting new tires and wheels. I may keep it this way after looking at your truck though! Nice job!

I still need to do rear blocks or an AAL too. Looks real good.
I am also running a wheel with 4.5" of backspacing but with a -12 offset. I had a lot of rubbing issues even with my 33" tires though (305-55-R20 Mickey Thompson ATZ's) with a 2.5" AS leveling kit. Had to trim both the front and rear plastics of the front wheel wells. But my -12 offset seats the wheel out about 1/2" further than yours with 0 offset.
