My first set of wheels/tires were 35x12.50R18 from BFG/Black Rhino. The wheels were +12 offset and required the front caliper castings to be shaved down ever so slightly for clearance. The 12.50" BFGs just cleared the uprights but I think a Toyo or Nitto might have rubbed as they have a little...
You don't need UCA with a 2" leveling kit unless you use it a lot in the dirt and want a little more wheel travel/ strength. You will need either a 1/4" wheel spacer on factory wheels or +12 offset wheels to accommodate 35x12.50 tires.
The 3.5" kit is not recommended for off-road use because the truck only has 4.5" of down travel in it's stock configuration. If you add 3.5" of lift you've effectively eliminated 3.5" of down travel. Engaging 4WD and putting pressure on the front shafts at that constant angle is a recipe for...
You have a Ready-lift leveling kit on your truck not Rough Country. Those are Ready-lift upper control arms. All Ready-lift 2" leveling kits come as spacers and upper arms only, no shocks.
Rough Country 2" leveling kits replace the front coilovers with upper arms as an option. Their 3.5" kits...
I love everyone's enthusiasm for 3.5" leveling kits but I'll remind you that the front end only be gets 9" of wheel travel.....4.5" up and 4.5" down. When you put a leveling kit on like 3.5" you are left with only 1" of down travel which equals a very rough ride. 2" leveling kits are really the...
Is it just a the wheel weights hitting? They can be moved closer to the center line of the wheel and still balance. Every manufacturer has a little bit different tolerances in their machining.
Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater if you already have the wheels. You can ditch the exterior...
What brand of aftermarket wheel did you buy and what offset?
Knocking wheel weights off the front is common with certain brand/offset 18" wheels without grinding a little bit of the casting edge off the calipers.
I have personally owned trucks and Jeeps with wheel spacers as have many of my off-road friends. All with tires 35-40" and some in high speed (abusive) desert applications without issue.
The key is make sure they are hub-centric and don't go cheap. Buy from a reputable company that caters to the...
The loosening issue might have to do with the sway bar nut tightening against the aluminum a-arm. For the same reason they tell you to re torque your lug nuts after 500 miles with brand new aluminum wheels. The aluminum is softer and needs the nut to "seat" properly to maintain grip. If you pull...
BDS is a very reputable company and the kit is made even better with the Fox shocks valved for the truck and amount of lift. If you want more sidewall you can actually fit a 37x12.50 tire. (I run that tire on my 2020 Rebel). Remember the larger tire you go and especially on a larger wheel (20")...
