HA! Nice 5.0LTREDDIE. My truck is the same color. Are those 265/70 or 265/75 BFG's??? I still haven't decided on white letters in or out on mine...

Those spacers look stout. I can't wait to get mine installed. I'll keep ya'll in the loop...
 






Very nice looking spacers. Quality work definately. :thumbsup:
 












I didnt read as far as i should had into the thread or i would had realized i needed spacers. My truck was on the lift and I seen the fronts were hittin the upper control arm barely, but enough to let me know.
 












So when are you going to start taking orders on these?

nice water jet cut and everything...looks like buttah- wheres the sign up sheet!??

I want to hold off and let the first set get installed, since that is the biggest lift I will make. You all can get a hold of me by PM here, through my website (link below on my sig.) or calling the number on the website.
Thanks a lot for the interest, guys.
 






Hi Brandon, how much would it be with shipping to G1W2V4 in Quebec City, Quebec Canada
 






Post office is running behind due to lay offs so I should see these tomorrow and once again pending on the work load I should have pics detailed late wends
 






Very nice work on these spacers. As long as they install with ease I am in too. I have the 3" body lift and 265/75/16 tires so this would be nice. Can't wait to see them on your X.....

Those tires are going to be mighty small with over 5" of total lift, you'll want to get larger ones pretty much as soon as you see the overall look ;)

for now, lets just say $265 shipped. if I have to eat some shipping costs for you Canadian guys, that's fine...if it comes out lower, I will adjust the price.
 






Nice to see these made, nice work Brandon. Subscribing.
 






I am also interested in seeing pictures of finished installs. Subscribed.
 






My set (2.25 F, 1.75 R) arrived last night. I wont get around to installing them until this weekend, but I'll keep all ya'll in the know-

Here's to hoping 7 months in california negates 6 years of illinois rust...:banghead:

5.0LTR.EDDIE, if i went with a 2" fr/2" r without a BL would 285's rub the control arms?
 






I believe the issue with 285's is the overall tire width. The tire may touch you upper control arm. You need wheel-spacers to run these tires, moving the tire outwards. I believe the largest you can push is 265/75/R16's (roughly 32's).

Also important, how willing are you to start trimming???
 






I did use spacers to fit 285/75/16 and as soon as I get my spacers i will put detailed pics out there. The bad news is I screwed up my zip code when i texted him and now i have to wait till they surface and have them aired to me. I apologize and thanks Brandon for the great communication.
 






i really dont want to start trimming the inside of the wheel wells so im just gunna stick with the 265's

You can run 285/75's without wheel spacers....you just need to have an aftermarket wheel with the correct offset.
