Slightly on rear with any weight in bed, rolled fender edges under took care of the problem.

Ok. So my wheels won’t hit the spindle then? I’ve got some 15x8 Rally’s from a C10 with 235/75/15. My front fenders are already rolled. Do you think I’d probably have to trim a little bit of the lip on my bed since I have a stepside?

Ok I am not sure on the 235/75/15 because I run 235/70/15 front and 255/70/15 rear but I would think on the step side you maybe would not, but that is guess work.. Someone here that has done the step side may be better to say for sure.

Update:

I'm not sure about DJM suspension. My lower control arms just got to welding this morning. They are saying another week in a half before shipping. I've been waiting 3 weeks already. I'm having a bad feeling about this. I'm wanting this to be installed by Aug 17th for Woodward Dream Cruse in Detroit.

When running 15's on a 4/6 drop, grind the rain gutter like this on both sides.
Turn the wheel to the stop, then measure 1.5"-2" in from where the wheel touches. That extra is to ensure that the LCA's don't touch under full suspension compression.
This will not have any effect on the LCA's strength.
Even still, get the tire guy to use the stick-on style weights when balancing the tires. The clip-on ones have a tendency to get knocked off by the LCA.

It's in the mail!!!! I should have it Monday.

Guess what showed up in the mail? Or i should say UPS brought.... The 4/6 kit is here from DJM. I warned the UPS guy... lol. Everything looks good. I get to installing it in a few weeks.

DJM kit is pretty straight forward install. No surprises for me anyhow. All hardware etc... LCA's and C channel weren't powder coated though.

Everything is powercoated.... But its flaking off the edges. It'll get all coated with SEM Rock-IT rock guard with the rest of the truck.
