Hey there everyone, I've been doing my research and read about every thread I can regarding the halo-lifts full kit (if this would be better posted in the level section please let me know). I'm looking to do a full coilovers, rears and blocks kit to replace the stock shocks and the over-strut block and 3" rear blocks that a previous owner did to my truck. Currently rides quite rough and skips a bit over some highway bumps (Boston roads are trash) so it seems that the halo-lifts Boss kit would give me the best ride quality and although I would start at about 2" of lift I would consider 3" with new UCAs in the future. I was hoping that any of you who have done the boss kit could weigh in, or if you have any better options I'm open to suggestions! Currently running 285/70 17s on stock wheels but with 10mm spacers due to tire rub on UCAs (I think I have about 3" of lift in the front from the blocks making the angles up front less than ideal). Thanks!

@neekhalas I had the same issue when I put 285/70/17s on the stock 17" wheels. I went with the at3ws which are a bit beefier as well. I spent a good amount of time doing circles in a parking lot and put some white tape on the ucas to find that there was minor rubbing at full right going forwards and rubbing on both ucas at full and almost full lock in reverse. You should also be able to hear squeaking from the rubber on metal. All that being said I just installed my 10mm BORA spacers on all 4 wheels yesterday and so far no issues at all and they were a perfect fit. No rubbing at all, although I didn't have rubbing with the 1/4" rough country spacer I was running before. So short version 1/4" spacers might fix your problem and would at least give you an estimate on back spacing if you want new wheels anyways!

Yea 1.75" is a bit of a bump although is it on the fender or just the liner? And I think an adapter is if you want to change number of lugs/pattern. Spacer is to move it out. BORA will tell you what size to get for your truck and the wheels. Mine should be here on the 22nd but so far the rough country 1/4" have been fine no vibration and no lug-tightness issues.

They do not have their own lugs, I asked the guys over at BORA and they said 10mm will be perfectly safe over stock studs. The only caveat is you have to special order them are $35ea + shipping and they say it takes 3-4 weeks to make them. I have heard of the pockets too, I thought I read that it was on the 20" wheels, but I didn't honestly look on my 17s. I would recommend calling them if you want to order because they'll get all the info for your center bore and hub diameter.

I had this same issue when going from 265/70/17 tires to 285/70/17 AT3Ws which run a little big. I put 1/4in spacers in the front to see if that fixed the problem and it did. I then contacted BORA for a set of wheels and hub centric ones that will be 10mm at their reccomendation. I'll make a post after because it seems there's not a ton of info on this problem.
