Here are some pics after I installed my new wheel spacers:







Thanks again Chris. I am happy with these spacers. They give it more stability and offset what I lost in that area but going taller.

I think I see that you have the towing package, which includes the 3.75 rear gearing. I think you are fine with the bigger tires since your back differential has the lower gearing.

I have thought about getting bigger, more aggressive tires for my ex when I need them. The only thing I think might be a problem is my 3.55 differential gearing.

Say I got bigger tires the same size as yours, do you think I would be fine with a tire that size on my 3.55 differential without loosing too much engine torque and putting too much strain on the drive train?

Thanks, don't mean to hijack the thread too much with my Q.

I do have the tow package. I can tell a difference with the bigger tires but it is still OK though. You would probably be fine with those gears if you do not mind losing a little power. I think the trade off is worth it. When I went to the bigger tires it felt a little tippy compared to what I was used to with it but the wheel spacers helped a lot with that. I would reccommend the wheel spacers or some wheels with less backspacing if you do get bigger tires.

I have two inch RB spacers front and back as well and they still rub a little on occasion. They say you can fit 265s with no lift but I would be prepared for some rubbing or at least doing some minor trimming.

Thanks, I am happy with it myself. I was getting tired of it because it looked so much like a soccer mom grocery getter before I started doing mods on it. It is almost like having a new vehicle now that all that stuff is done.

Nope. Read the sticky threads at the top of the modified 2002-2005 forum. Lots if good info all in one place.
