Behold, 3" Heavy OME lift with itty bitty tires

[TheLastLatin]

Wasn't able to secure a hand in getting my lift done so I went to a local shop. Only now my tires are looking a little small proportionately. I just got them in Jan of this year so I'm going to be running these into the ground.

Looks perfect both ways. Smaller tires yield double digit mpg’s.

IMO they looked too big for stock height, now look just right. A bit too much stinkbug with the lift though.

yeah, it needs to settle and as I add weight it will be lower. I went heavy because we tow a lot.

Obligatory recommendation against spacers.

Now, do whatever.
Spidertrax spacers have a good following.

It messes up your steering geometry. When I got mine it came with the same springs, caster plates and 1" spacers in front. The alignment was out of spec and it was pretty wander-y on the highway. I removed the spacers and it was almost perfect.

This.
And also it should become an additional regular maintenance item to check. But alot don't check them regularly and have issues as a result. It is a bit of a pain to do so.
Hard enough to remember your nuts, much less pulling wheels to check more nuts.
