I highly doubt your gonna be able to run 38's after adding the spindles unless you plan on doing MAJOR trimming. I wanna see pics of you running 35's with just a 3" body and a level, because you need 6" to clear 35's.

Yea no prob, I'll have to do it when I'm by a computer later this week, iPhone won't let me do it. There's another guy that's running 38s on here with the spindles, level and body. Have u tried bolting on any tires with your setup yet? Like 35s or 38s?

I'm Fixin to order the 3.5in spindle probably within the next couple of weeks, since I can't find any spindle lift bigger than that. Where did u get your 3in blocks for the rear? I have a 2in block at the house that I can put on with the spindle but I would rather have the 3

With your increased track width it will rub inside the fender wells. For instance with just the leveling kit and 285's i had no rub at all, but when i added the spindles i got some rubbing in the lower part of the inner fenders. I also assume you probably have an 8" wide wheel, because with a 10" wide you would have to have some rubbing! I just put 35's on mine today and i could maybe go up to a 36" without any rubbing. but i wouldn't want to go any bigger than the 35's right now because it would just look too stuffed. As for blocks you can get them at any auto parts store.

Yea, mine are 8s thats why there's no rubbing issues. I wouldn't go with a 10 until I got up to a 15.50. I like the cupped look with small rims on my truck. Yea after spindles and 38s there will be minor rubbing on the inner fender on the lower portion but that's just plastic, that's no big deal to trim. I'm still trying to sell these KM2s so i can get the 38s lol. What 35s did u end up going with
