    So I talked the lady into letting me upgrade the wheels and tires despite having my stock ones just now breaking in. About $3,400 later I've managed to get this sweet set up

    Yes, a beautiful set of Gram Light's wrapped in a fresh set of 295/70 Toyo At3s. Just to put this project into perspective, I decided early on that I would be the one to install these on the truck for fear of any shop handling them might scratch these rare beauties. So this morning I packed everything up and drove 100 miles to my dad's shop where I would install them. I didn't have access however to a tire mounting machine so I did have to find a shop that would at least do that for me and be sure that they could do it without scratching them. To cut a long story short, after talking to 3 tires shops I landed a deal with the local discount tire who assured me they could do the job.

    $150 and 5 hours later I picked these up

    Got the old wheels and tires off made me feel like an old man. But at any rate, I carefully mounted the new kicks...

    Couldn't be happier how they turned out. But this is where things started to go sour. I thought I had did my homework about fitment... :( I at least knew I would have to take off the front mud flaps and maybe do a little heat gun action which was certainly the case.

    Unfortunately, I'm also just rubbing on the body and slightly hitting the pinch weld area.

    I thought maybe I could live with it but when we tried to back the truck out we had a full lockout with the tire hitting the frame. Couldn't even back it out of the shop. So I had to abandon the project for now and figure out what we can do. I think the easy answer is a BMC but just want to know what else we can do? I'll put my mods below but I'm also starting to see that many people seem to be running into this problem with the Camburg UCA's which I also have.

    Mods:

    Camburg UCA
    Bilstein 6112/5160 (top setting, no shims)
    Gram Lights Trans X 0 offset
    Toyo AT3 295/70/18
