WoW the truck looks great. I asked about whether your tires were kicking up stones onto the fenders but that was when you still had the stock tires, how about now?
 
Is getting your truck aligned afterwards necessary?
I honestly don’t know if it was needed, or actually done. I thought the $230 install was a fair price regardless, but they did say that included an alignment. I do not know how much an alignment is on it’s own.

no rocks or stones as of yet. Like i said I live in Miami, and i'm pretty much on the street always, and there hasn't been an incident with any rock or pebble hitting my doors. I'm very happy with the look, and the stance. One thing i do get is the dirty water on the door from the splatter of the tires when i go over puddles and speed up, but that;s how it is. Good Luck!!

I hope these fit on a Limited 4x4. I just ordered them
The truck looks THICK!!! I'm telling you the spacers add a sweet difference to the truck. Glad the spacers worked out, I keep telling people that yitamotors spacers are good. Like i said these are 78.1 bore and they keep saying 77.8...I really think that the difference is so minimal, that it doesn't matter. Either way Congrats bro...by the way you live in Dade or Broward?

Thank you sir I’m in West Palm Beach - West Delray area
 
dragon285,

I thought I saw that you purchased bigger tires. Now I can't find it??? Any rubbing with the 2" spacers with the larger tires up front???
 
Not sure if you’re asking me, but no I’m still on the stock tires. I love the look of Nitto’s and Toyo’s. I’m waiting to actually need tires before I buy new ones.

WOW!!! It has to bee the difference in size of sidewalls and tire tread of the different tires we are using since we both have 20's.

I have Falken (retail not OEM) AT3W that are 275/60/20 and your side walls are 50 which gives you lower profile and more room to expand than mine.

I used some rubber foam mat (similar to the taping cardboard method I saw utube) to see if I would be rubbing at 2" when turning the front wheels. I also taped on 2" of the foam on sidewall to see how far it extends out which I like. I am going 1.5" front and 2" in rear on the wheel spacers. Some pics of the foam mat experiment below.
Thanks for follow up.

good technique to find out if your tires will rub. You can go to this web page and they have a bunch of pictures with tires and rim on stock suspension with no rubbing: https://www.customwheeloffset.com/wheel-offset-gallery This is where i went to see what can fit on my truck.....Here are some pics of my truck with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Hope this helps and Good Luck.23375233762337723378
 
How about a "coming down the road to me" shot of the front end from say, 30 to 50 feet away?
