Got some 2" wheel spacers last week and got em installed. Totally changed the look of the truck, and gave it some stance. Gotta say I love seeing my A/Ts rolling every time I check my mirrors, and I guess I'm not the only one. Been turning a lot of heads lately when ever I'm out and about.

That shows the smoked turn signal as well.
Took her to the shop today to find out what the issues were with my front end. Unfortunately, there are several. To start, the ball joints and UCA bushings are shot. The uppers may as well not even be there. That's what was causing the rubbing issue. Also, it appears the PO has throw me one more curve ball, in that the upper control arms are after market. To be more specific, they are control arms from the skyjacker 2-3" lift kit for this truck. Which would explain how I could crank the snot out of my bars and still keep decent angles. Got the bushings ordered from skyjacker and they should be here this week. All in all, it's gonna be over $700 to get everything straight. And once that's done, there comes the tire issue. That will tack on another 850 bucks. As much as I love this thing, it's safe to say it was a bad buy. Between this, the engine getting roasted, and a bunch of other little things, its turned into a money pit. One I'm not a 100% sure I want to continue to pursue. Once this is all fixed, what's next? The transfer case? The transmission? It's a never ending game. Even if I do keep it, I'm not sure it will continue to get the money for mods its seen to this point. The idea of spending 4k on a lift, tires and gears for this thing makes me sick.
