Thanks I'm glad you guys like them. You don't know the nightmare I went through to get them! First I had to special order both the wheels and tires, and the wheels took two weeks to come in. Then I went up to have them put on they were missing one of the wheels. So I wait another week and go up there when they call me. The 4th wheel that came in was the wrong bolt pattern! Another week goes by and I FINALLY get everything. It was worth it though. The guys at Discount Tire were pretty sympathetic....but not enough to get me an extra discount I guess LOL

Would a 2" body lift or stiffer shocks help keep the fender from hitting the tire when I go up inclines?

a body lift would help. you can also try adjusting your torsion bars a little bit to raise the front end slightly. i would crank maybe 2 or 3 turns and see if the rubbing goes away, if not, crank a lil more
