No wheel spacers. i have 15X8 wheels with 4" backspace. the tires are 32X11.50 they did rub a little on a tight turn and hit a bump. but when i bent back the lip in the front fenderwell's right by the door that solved that problem.

Great looking Rig!!!
Did you paint your black window surrounds on the doors. I noticed in the first picture that they were showing some of the chrome that is under the black paint. On the last pictures it is black again.
I have the chrome starting to show and have been trying to find replacement pieces, but if there is an easy way to paint them it would be better.

Hey nice ride man. I read thru and seen you were getting the violent shake when you hit bumps. I'm willing to bet the steering wheel wants to pull out of your hands? Thats the infamous death wobble. If you still have it, its normally either (1)the track bar ball joint is wasted (2) the bolt used to anchor the track bar to the axle is a smaller diameter than the bushing shim so there is slop between the bolt and the shim (3) control are bushings can be worn/torn. Just suggestions but normally the issues.
It is suggested to get an adjustable track bar anything over 3 inches due to the angle of the bar and pivot points. Lemme know what you came up with. I'm curious
