with them shocks you will be swirving potholes and going around bumps, you should have taken the first step to a 'pre runner' and got the upgraded shocks

Yeah, till you shove a tire into one at 50mph and destroy it. They're fiberglass, I'd never use them on anything but a pavement princess

the point of a pre runner is for the tire to clear the fender and use smaller tires to use the full travel of the suspension without hitting the fenders, hydraulic bump stops would also be nice

How much do you want to trim out of the front lol to make it look right with the front flares you're going to have to trim some out of the fender near the side markers. If you want kind of a factory look go for two sets of rears
