I've been thinking about picking up another set of rims with smaller BS but I'm nervous I'll have the same issue with only the T-Bars cranked and 31s.
right, i wanna get it aligned before i trim tough. because the caster angle will/can throw it back some. i just wanna make sure its where i need it to be before i start cutting.

That's a smart move. The truck looks good btw. Hopefully you can get everything resolved.

Looks awesome! How much did you have to trim so the tires wouldn't rub the fenders?

Dude we drive almost the same vehicle now! Haha! I'm just about to pick mine up from the alignment but here's a quick collage picture right after tires installed! Gotta update my build thread since it's a whole new truck now!
