What all needs to be done to make them fit, just test fit them and see I need to do some trimming, is there any other problems I am going to run into. Thanks in advance:ro)

i needed to crank t-bars all the way. as a result.... shim the shocks, and get an alignment. be sure to go somewhere with a full size rack that is willing to adjust camber because that will have changed. i learned the hard way that a shop without an r.v. rack will just measure toe manually and call it an alignment.

trim the airdam a bit. get a bunch of big zip ties. drill small holes in wheel lining and zip back the lining as much as you can. wrap one zip around e-brake cable to get that out of the way. when you think you have zipped enough, do a few more.

be sure to cut the little nugget knobs off the inside of the center caps so you get plenty of thread on the lug covers.

i feel like i've done everything i can without getting a lift, which i don't want. i still rub on occasion. i'm going to drop to 285's next time around and drop the t-bars back a bit. t-bars cranked all the way would not allow camber to adjust fully back to 5-7 degrees, so mine are 2.5ish. it's straight, but it floats around a bit on the highway or under heavy braking. i might get the cognito levelling kit if it fixes the camber and travel issue. i don't *think* it fixes the higher angles on the cv joints though.

you are going to love what it does to your truck, and how it looks. share a pic when you are done!
