great looking truck.

unrelated, but what year is that Type 2 campertop across the street in your neighbor's garage? owning an old VW bus is what got me into wrenching on cars. easiest engine to drop. all you need is an hour, a flat surface to park on and a skate board to but the motor on and roll out from under the bus.

Just under 32”. It’s a nitto ridge grappler 265 75 16. And I get a little rub turning full turn. Need to figure out where. And I can’t fit a finger between the spare and the bumper (stock) after flipping the carrier.

Can you give us some driving impressions especially on the street?

Boostle-
i want to say I immediately noticed just a slight sway on day one. After tires. Could have been my steering rods and ball joints tho because halfway through a 15 mile off road trail through the local mountains on rocky and corrugated terrain, I noticed some banging. Sure enough the drag link was bad. New steering rods from lucky8 being delivered tomorrow. Should tighten it up a great deal. I'll follow up once installed

As for the lift itself (hd springs) it rides like a truck with heavy duty springs, which was the desired outcome. It's a weekend/recreational vehicle. Definitely not a DD. I wouldn't be able to afford the CA gas prices!
