I thought about it. It was either new wheels or wheel spacers to correct the backspacing for running 31s with no rubbing on the LCAs..eventually if I stumble across a decent deal, I might make the switch and sell the wheel spacers. The last two pics have the wheel spacers and the trimmed bumpers. The others don't

So I just got this kit in the mail and I see you are only running the one shock up front. Do you not keep the factory one in the coil?
