Default bought it!

well woke up early and bought the 1.5 inch lift. i know not extreme. but is my daily drive and i just want it to look better. i bought it from roughcountry.com includes new shocks. shackles. and coil spacers... seems to be right in my jurisdiction...

next i have to buy some new tires and rims. i am going to be purchasing cragar soft 8's. but i was wondering if i could get some ideas on what to put on them. and what wont rub. i can also remove fenders for more clearance. along with add wheel spacers.

You might not have any rubbing issues with a 1.5 lift. That's if you run stock tire size. If you get the correct back spacing on the wheels, you will not need spacers.

you'll regret spacers. Just get the back spacing of like 3in. That will stick out a good amount. This is waht mine looks like with trimmed fenders, no lift, 15x8 w/4in BS on 235/75's

Yeah... You'd also probably be able to not have to trim fenders. Trimming the fenders will give you more wheel poke, though.
