Going with the readylift 1/2" hub centric wheel spacers all around with extended thread lug nuts. My local speed shop uses the same combo on their suburban with a 6" lift on 35 x 12's and they swear by it (only used to match width of front wheels). They have been in the game over 30 years so I can trust that. And as an engineer in my work we figure atleast 7 threads to be fully enganged, which is what this will provide. See pics.. Keep in mind the spacer in the pics was one he had in the back room to show me.

I did look into the steering stop that Zone offers B1188 that would be the steering stop part number, they come in the magna-ride leveling kits. The directions tell you to weld it onto the existing one. I am a fan of that and will keep it in mind. Not sure why they don't offer it as a separate part. Cool idea though. And wonder why its only in the magna-ride kit. 277e40260153d8a1ef8e1eb867ee1e6d.jpg285b7775e31cb55c498515886a80a489.jpg07b97f40587718c3546bb6818ecaef2e.jpg91cee6b97784147bc08ad43c93d38710.jpgeb7617417d9231a1c08a06f9a7e42e91.jpg

I posted this on a pic thread but figured I'd post it here as well...

 

Here's my 2018 LT 4x4 - she has a whopping 400 miles on the odometer.  The Michelin 265/65/18's were waaaaaaay too small so I went ahead and installed a Rough Country 2" leveling kit and a set of BF Goodrich 275/70/18's.  I guess I'm old school because I love the white letters.

Yeah I know. Zone told me to go to my local shop to get them. I like the idea. I found a nice set of 0 offset wheels (SCA, they build the black widows) that I will purchase when I need tires.. I would rather use the spacers for the time being as its "keeping it stock".

‘18 All Terrain, 2” level up front, 305/50/20 Coopers on 20x9 et 0 (pic is with 300lbs of sand in the bed too).

Tomorrow I’m installing the Bilsteins set on the 4th notch.

Nice. What kind of wheels are those?

.5" spacers installed with the extended thread lugs. No more rub! Will remain this way until I buy wheels. I am pleased with the fit up of everything. Of course, can't forget the fluid film. 4ba575eab94a8c6fb63b491677647259.jpg2ed27619dab92fb197b1b295ce60b106.jpgdc6974f028d1c564b6bc68f910346916.jpg

When installing the lower strut spacer to level your truck, has anyone just unbolted the bottom bolts, compress the strut and insert the spacer?  Is that possible or do you have to go through all the steps and unbolt the linkage, ball joints ect?
