Well, tires came and i found broken ball joints !

If you look at the suspension pics you will notice the lower ball joint lost its nut(thankfully i wasnt driving to find out)

but check out the rims/tires in my gallery and let me know what you think

what are you guys' opinions how to deal with the rubbing, body lift (1-2 inch) or fiberglass, or a better alternative?

maybe you forgot to seperate the ends and it came out while driving. then the sastle nut vibrated loose.

That can make for an interesting trip. Did you put the lift on yourself? If so, and you are sure that everything was done correctly, did you **** anyone off recently? Was the truck steering erratic? Nice tires and wheels by the way. Sucks that you cant try them out right away.
