Renix.

they'll fit the wheel. Although if they are OEM wheels they will not fit on the truck in that configuration. You need aftermarket wheels/spacers or else the inside of the tires will rub the leaf springs and LCAs (you need 4" or less of backspacing to make it work - oem wheels are 5.25").

Well for 31s I know you want 4.5in of BS or less. I have 31/10.5's on 15x7s with stock BS and they rub on the LCA's. And Im in the say situation as you trying to figure out what size bump stops I need.

for 12.5" tires i'd say at least 4". You may be able to get away with slightly more since it will be mounted on an 8" wheel.

Easiest/best way to plug a rear brake hardline? It's leaking, and I don't care much about fixing it right now cause I don't have operative rear brakes. I just need to stop the leak.

Could I just bend the line on itself to crimp it? Would that hold up to driving?

(The problem will be fixed when I swap in my D44 with new hard lines.)
