    thanks Lenny and Joe,

    I am a bit picky and anal about things, so I just loosened the shock on top nut and loosened the bilstein holder and turned and twisted to fit according to their sheet! No kinks in hose and all is good, Thanks again all for the help!

    Yes sir, end of month SCS SR8's and 295 or 35/12.50/28's but I thought the 35's will fit without modding!

    I need some opinions on tires, my wheels have a +25 offset! I want aggressive looking and functional tire, I'll be driving 99% road and also a 3000 round trip to DC in July!

    either of these 3 sizes,

    1. 285/70/18
    2. 295/70/18's
    3. 35/12.50

    These tires,

    1. TOYO R/T's
    2. TOYO AT II's
    3. NITTO Ridge Grapplers mix of at/mud

    Trim ok but don't want to do a CMC, would the 295's work without CMC.

    I just mentioned those sizes, are there any better sizes out there!

    Good chance you'll need CMC with the 35. You won't with the 285. 295 is a toss up.

    Of those I'd probably do the ridge grapplers in 295

    Late to this thread but so damn funny! Pinched fingers, breaker bars to the face, screws in the fingers and finally greased up fingers...For once LOL really means LOL. Great work Geno and kudos to everyone who helped out. Best thread ever!
