Just went from a 18" set of wheels on 35's to the current set of 20" on 35's, unfortunately due to the much wider and lower offset of the wheel I had some pretty serious rubbing issues, after making some room with pie cuts on the fender clearance is very good, just need to finish welding the panel and touch up the fenders and I'm pretty happy with the overall look. Enjoy

I did at -44 offset and 12" wide I wanted to keep the factory splash guard in the wheel well with mounting points

Not at the moment I'll snap some more up close pictures when I get around to doing the complete welds and body work to cover up the work

damn! that's CRAZY! but i can't see why so much trimming if you have that much lift6-7"? i understand the offset is -44 and i'm at -24 but i have about an 1 1/2" clearance before i rub again. hmmm...wondering if i should think about 1.5" spacers instead of 2" spacers? but than again my front end looks like it sits much higher than yours. are you rubbing on the front bumper? anyways, your truck looks really good!

depends on his leveling kit. he could only be at 5.5" of lift, or like he said, 7". It honestly looks really close in height to my 2006 with a pro comp stage 1 6" lift...it was really about a 5" lift. the rear only came with a 3" block lol

Very true, I'll have to measure my spacer since it's been a while, I think the 6-7" range is pretty accurate, I really like the height the truck has and eventually would like to raise the rear just a hair to even out the body but for now love the aggressive look.

BTW I also did cut a small section off the corner of the front bumper as that was rubbing badly as well, I look foward when the body and paint work is done and you wouldn't be able to tell modifications hace been done.

i thought so cause i was rubbing there a bit until i cranked my coilovers up. i ended up doing the E. Fonzarelli bumper cap mod so even if i brought the coils back down it won't rub.

whatever the front spacer physically measures to, multiply it by 1.6. thats how much lift it gives you.

Are you gonna pull the fenders off and paint them or paint them on the truck? I'm assuming you'll paint the entire fender?

The plan is to Attempt and blend the color and clear into the fender without removing the panels, another option I'm considering is to make it easy and apply gray color bed liner in that area but that's unlikely

so what size rear block do you have?

any pics when you had the 18's?
