Got the lift on. Dobinsons 2.5 up front with jba uppers. Add a leaf in rear. Spidertrxx spacers. Nice and simple but capable. How I wanted it. Looks clean. Got a little rubbing up front. Not bad but ill try and figure a way to remedy it. Also a clunk on some bumps in rear but not sure if it is suspension or tailgate. Stiffer but not bad. Tires are quite. I will put 3k miles on it next couple weeks. Sure I'll find some more little things. Drives smooth. Noticed my steering wheel has little vibration at about 75. Not bad but wondering if maybe the tires are slightly out of balance. Dont know the reputation of the tire shop. Install was done by stellar built in Sacramento if anyone was interested. Let me know if you guys can think of clunk sound. Cheers

Clean truck, good looking setup. Mine clunks in the rear over bumps. Determined it to be my 3" drop receiver hitch that's always in there. A little gorilla tape around the hitch before inserting has cured the problem. Could also check the spare tire and make sure its cranked all the way up. Also check rear shock mounts. Could be tailgate as you originally proposed as well.

I highly suggest looking at your rear leaf springs.. grab them with your hand and shake the truck side to side nice and hard and see if you can hear a clunk coming from them. I bet it's your leaf springs

1 1/4 spidertrax hubcentric all around. I think I determined it to be a loose hitch. Also I am missing a rubber piece on one side where the truck bed meets when closed. I'll shake the leafs when I put my full size spare back this afternoon. Thanks for feedback

I have a little vibration at 75mph also. I've thought about trying a road force balance but it hasn't bothered me enough to spend the money just yet.

Damn, that nice! I’m about to post up my build and it looks like yours HAHAHAH (stay tuned)
I’m in Sac also... Follow Stellar Built on Instagram, they do lots of great work!!!

I had a loose trailer hitch rattle that drove me nuts as well.... found this $10 u-bolt and 1/4” plate bracket that you can install on the hitch to keep it from rattling, flipping love it!! No more rattle.
I also have LT285/70/17 and the spare fits fine up in there.

Great stance... like those head lights too! Are those aftermarket, or did you modify them yourself?
