What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Thanks and yes back to stock UCA because I HATED the uniball ICON arms. I'll likely be going with new arms soon from someone else but going with ball joint arms this time. The stock 7" wide wheel might be a little on the narrow side and you'll need wheel spacers with stock back spacing. My wheels are 17x8 with a 4.5" BS and 0 offset and I have maybe 3/4"-1" clearance between the tire sidewall and UCA at the ball joint bulge in the arm. No way these tires would clear on a stock BS wheel, at least not from the looks of it. Could always buy the spacers, mount the tires on the wheels, test fit, and only use the spacers if you need them. With that said, this is NOT my recommendation to run spacers. I am personally not a fan of spacers and do whatever it takes to avoid them. Lots of people run them, some have failures, some don't, I choose not to run them.

Thanks for the reply bud! I really want to run 295s and make it work, but I just don't feel good about putting 295's on 7 inch pro rims. Who knows, I might go with aftermarket wheels as a 2nd set of shoes for my rig. I am looking at 17x9 rims with offset of -10 to -12. BS is about 4.5 inch. Maybe this is help avoid spacers which I dont use? Been there and done that. I am afraid a BMC (I dont want) will be involved too besides trimming bumper.
 
Had mine washed today, and saw we had these two delivered to the lot this morning. I gotta say, that nautical blue is dang sexy!

Every truck is a little different but I didn't do a BMC and have no rubbing. I did move the front liner forward and trim the bumper but that's not a big deal. This is with 1* of caster using the OEM arms and 3" up front.

I improved the mounting system for my yakima rtt. It originally used the railgrabs but after installing only 2 of my crossbars were supporting all of the weight(railgrabs raise the tent 6 inches). So i removed all of the factory mounts and utilized some predrilled holes in the floor of the tent and used 1/4 carriage bolts in the prinsu crossbars. Now it sets flush on my rack and 4 bars now support the tent.

I flipped it because I want the wider part on the bottom... I think that it looks better :)

Then I have nothing else to say other than bravo. Truck looks awesome man. We obviously just saw the difference of what it is "supposed" to be but you made it yours. No objections here!
