Well I have the shackles on there and a t-bar crank, but the rims only have 4 in of backspacing so trimming was in order. Believe me it about made me sick taking a sawzall to my baby, who I'm still payin for

Yeah I feel ya. I still need shackles on mine, and my bars were sagging so they are turned up all the way. Figure shackles will rotate the truck some and help, but I'ma probley still have to trim. So whats your opinion so far Jon? I bet the ride is softer on bumps and such.

I just picked up the same wheels on 30.5's. At the moment no lift. 1996 jimmy 4x4. Will a 2in body lift allow enough clearance even though the wheels are 4in backspacing?
