Re: New tires and wheels!
Looks good like it is. I'd just give it a little trim with the sawzall. You'd like it better without an even higher center of gravity with addtional lift.
Cut along the red lines. If the body was in perfect shape I'd agree with more lift to avoid cutting, but something tells me this truck is going to be used. I trimmed the snaggle teeth off of the front fenders of mine and it took all of 10 minutes with Mr. Sawzall. It got loud as the fender has 3 layers nearest the core support, but fresh blades cut right through it. I just eyeballed my cut to be just below the core support by 3/4". Any more and I would have been cutting into the core support. I gained pleanty of clearance to the front when a wheel is stuffed and turning.
CUT IT!!!
