Would the 245's on the 16" rim be too big if I don't trim fenders. And what backspacing will bring either of these tires on a 7" rim right to the edge of the flares without sticking out?
Thank you!

I am just weary about all pops and clicks Im getting after installing the new shocks and coil springs. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

No vibrations at all, very smooth. I tightened everything down while it was on the jack stands and lifted off the ground. As far as the driveline angle I'm not sure what you mean. Sorry I'm a little new to all this stuff. I have a transfer case lowering kit and a tracker ball lowering bracket but havent installed them yet. The noises are like little crunching sounds. The sway bar is loose and the new bushings are shot. New bushings in the morning.

If you're not having any driveline vibes don't worry about dropping the t-case. As for your "track bar" bracket that is something you should do immediatley. I have a feeling your axle is a little bit off center. Also go around one more time with the torque wrench after about 10-20 miles. Crunching of tires on gravel?

Also the bds has alot more to it than just the lift. I'm liking that.
