Default PARTS NIGHTMARE

It is going on 3 weeks that my truck isripped apart with no wheels and still no BODYLIFT! I have had nothing but troubles with the wrong kit sent from P.A. and people selling wheels and not knowing what lug pattern they are. The way its looking I am going to have to stay with stock wheels and continue to wait on P.A. to send me the right kit. Does anyone think that I am going to have rubbing issues on the frame now that I am keeping stock backspacing?

I think keeping the stock backspacing is better

Im almost positive if you go with 4" BS you might have rubbing issues on the fender

You will only rub at full lock, at least that is when i rub the frame with my 31 in tires.

I have seenso many guys do the same thing that I am doing and they are running 33's with some trimming. I figured that if they can run 33x12.5s with trimming, then I should be able to run 31x10.5s with no problems.

Even the ZR2's have to do a fair amount of trimming for 33" tires...

You can get 33x9.5" tires from BFG, if I remember right...

They'll rub on the frame with the stock rims, you'll need to space them out a bit.

31s will be a lot easier... You might have to do some slight trimming... But shouldn't do too bad, the body lift should clear that up... You MIGHT need a slight t-bar crank, but nothing extreme...

The 31x10.5s should be good to run on the stock wheels.

If you look at my signature, I am already planning on cranking them. I made shackles to bring the a$$ end up to even it out. (thanks to Blazin_Jason for his help with the specs)

No way you got them already? I've been tracking the package and its such crappy tracking that it still only shows that its been accepted at my local post office. I literally like 2 mins before I read this was asking my buddy who works there to see if he can make sure it's not been stuck, and still on the way to you.
