Both fronts and the rearThanks, does it come with the rear brake hoses too or just the fronts?

Hey everyone! It's been a good minute since I've been on the thread, so here's a few new pics of the truck. I have a question that maybe some of you can answer: if I were to add a 1-2 inch coil spring spacer on top of my lift spindles, would I need new control arms? And if so, where would I get them?
Good job with the headlights, they look good.You must be registered for see images attachYou must be registered for see images attachYou must be registered for see images attachYou must be registered for see images attachYou must be registered for see images attachHey everyone!

I wouldn't personally. If you want more lift, I'd go with a body liftYou must be registered for see images attachYou must be registered for see images attachYou must be registered for see images attachYou must be registered for see images attachYou must be registered for see images attachHey everyone!

I agree with this statement above. As a matter of fact I was going to do a 1" body lift on mine but I had other priorities so it just never happened.I wouldn't personally. If you want more lift, I'd go with a body lift
What size fenders flares are you getting? Depending on which flares you get you will still have the tires poking out past the flares (assuming you are going to run 285/70/17 tires). I have that size tire on 17x10s with a -24mm offset and my fronts stick out pretty good. I had to trim the bumper slightly to get the tires to clear but its not super noticeable, just the valence.New guy here just posted in the Member's Trucks thread to intro. Bounced over here to ask a ? or 3 about tires/wheels.
And yes I've spent a lot of time here on GMT400 digging around member's pics and specs but haven't nailed down exactly what I can do as far as sizes go. This is my fam's beach buggy once a year and my daily the rest of the time. I don't want to get into rubbin and scrapin so I'll just limit myself to what works with just a 4" knuckle job up front for now.
My truck is 2wd obviously and I'm looking to go with some (possibly) KMC wheels in 16" or 17"..leaning towards 17's after seeing a member's truck. He has some 285/70/17's on his and it looks just right IMO. I'm thinking with my truck, I won't be able to get there with just a 4" spindle lift? I wanted a little more than 31x10.5's on it but if that means I'll be creating problems, I won't do that just yet. Not really thinking about a body lift. I know it's probably blasphemy round here but it's strictly street for this buggy. It won't be in the mud. I'm too old and grouchy to be having that much fun.
So...how big can I go on rubber with the 4" spindles? I'll figure out what to do with the rear end after I do the front. I have an air bag lift on the back that gains me some (used it for towing help). I read somewhere here that if I'm gonna be doing much towing, look away from using blocks on the rear. The rear would probably accept the bigger tires and then some but how far can I push the envelope and NOT rub? Also, I am not afraid of doing a little grinding and cutting in the bumper/valance area but I don't want to get into heavy scraping all the time.
Wheels...offsets and backspacing...while I understand how positive and negative offsets affect the positioning of the tire/wheel, I thought I'd ask here and maybe someone who's already tried it can nail it down for moi. I understand the spindles will take my fronts out an inch or so each side and a spacer on the back might be in order to even things up. Or I thought maybe I could stagger and get everything right at the edge of the fender flares I have coming? I don't really want to get out so wide that the tires are extending out past the flares. Just trying to keep it tucked as close to the edges as I can.
Does that make sense? Opinions?
Thanks for havin' me, GMT.
