Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sendors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment. -
Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item. -
They will fit with a spacer to clear but I know many people don't like that. -
with your further description, I'd be looking at all front end components. Control arm bushings can be deceiving. May look like fair condition but they're allowing play -

Good Afternoon..thanks for the reply. I purchased the truck with 108,000 miles on it in 2018. It now has just under 170,000 miles. My previous truck, a 1992 Chevy K1500 Silverado had 370,000 miles on when I sold it at 13 years old and I never felt anything like this, but then again it wasnt 25 year old. I do not feel that all the time. Only when catching a bump just right". I was assuming that it was time for ball joints, control arms, tie rods, etc. but I am being told all of that is solid and not in need of replacement, although the buishings that I can see in the wheel well appear to be dry and cracked. Ill take a look at the parts you mentioned and will start going thru the forums for info. Just had the idea to look for a forum the other day since I am not satisfied with what I am being told and what I feel when driving the truck.
