Got the wheels mounted.
the 15x8 don't stick out as far as I thought it would. (3.75 BS)

I think they look good.
The steering is a little heavier, but not bad.

My shocks and springs are whipped so I will probably go with a 3" lift.

then throw on 265 tires when I'm ready to replace the 235's.

Q: Does anyone sell the rough country lift cheaper? Or should I just buy direct... through the link above?

(I know, the old girl has some rust.... but it's a good runner. 265k miles and counting... bought it new)

Are your ball joints okay? It looks like you have a lot of negative camber there.

Ball joints seem OK, I turned the wheel slightly and it helped ... so part optical illusion..

But I DO think I need a front end alignment/ have it looked at.

I'm gonna get the 3" lift on, then get the alignment sorted.

come to think of it, maybe that is contributing to the heavier steering...

anyway...
one thing at a time...

Could also be a bent axle tube or c. I know my left c is pretty bent. We hit a 3" branch at like 40.
