I am only posting this to stir the pot. Don’t try this at home. Simulated wheel spacers. Not for highway use.
Are you going to powder coat those or paint ?

I was thinking of trying out a Cerekote coating.
Good call. Funny i am heading over to the owners house today . On a diffrent note . I needed a bunch of bolts to be black for a staircase i am building in the lobby . a few hours later they gave me them back all Cerakoted black

Slight trim and no “wheel spacers” with 4.25” backspaced wheels. I’ll have to find something else to cerakote.
looks great

A little bit at a time…
That's gonna rub like a fat kid's thighs on the trail. I love it.

It won’t rub. I will make sure that the bump stop leaves some space for tire flex. Here are a few more pictures…

In my experience, flexing with a floor jack is a good reference point, but the suspension will move more when there are real loads on it.
You've got a blonde one between the tire and the bib now, but it'll rub when you get it in the real world.

The picture above is over flexed by 1”. I just lifted the tire until it touched the bib and snapped a photo. I should be more careful with my pictures as someone might think that was okay and do it to their truck.
I’ll have to reconfigure my front towers since the16” shocks weren’t available and I downsized to 14”…which is why I can over flex at the moment.

Good enough for now. I’ll have to take the fender off to finish the inside and the fender is holding the cowl in place. I’ll finish after the tub is installed.

A little more. I’ll have to finish this side when I take the fender off. I can’t get my dolly in place.

One rear tower brace 
Both front fenders are done. It’s time to go get more steel.
