    Looking great! Did you decide to do the from bumper? Did you go with black or cement?

    How’s the ride on the 2.5 setting? I’m really struggling to decide on 1.9 or 2.5. I think the stance came out really awesome on your truck.

    I also had to do the BMC recently due to rubbing about 3/4's lock, and especially in reverse. I drove it like this for about 1.5 weeks until I could get it in to the shop and noticed on the very outside where rubbing was scuffing up the tires so yes it will do some damage to the tires if you continue.

    BMC is cut up to the body mount itself but doesn't alter or harm it at all, and new plate is welded on then painted. I don't see this causing any issues w/ the body mount itself. Attached is a couple pictures for reference ..

    Cost: $200

    Front Liner -
    Mine also rubbed a decent amount so I simply unbolted what's holding them to chrome corner pieces then pushed the liner to inner portion of chrome corners and put a screw through to hold and no rubbing issues since .. Here's a couple pictures to give you an idea

    This is how it looks in original positioning

    Here is w/ the liner pushed to inside

    Wheels/Tires -
    A + offset will bring face in, and - offset will bring face out, also look at the back spacing (might not be correct technical term) which will tell you distance from hub to inner portion of wheel. These will all have a role in how much poke you get.

    I have 17x8.5 0 Offset on a true 34 305/70/17 and has what I think is the right about of tire poke... In which from the pics I don't think your's looks bad and actually is right amount of poke / meat. Just my opinion though

    Hope this helps
