Nice Kenny. Are you rubbing up front now (I don't recall the specs of your wheels/tires)?

If you have a 245 tire then at that ride height it would likely rub. Time to pinch your fronts flat and trim the side marker down (I think you already did the latter).

For sure you gotta stiffen up the dampening.

i really wanted 20s but all i could get for the front was a 8.5 thats why i went with 19s again so i could get a 9.5 front and 10.5 rear :-( dumb wheels lol

Once you get smaller tires you will want larger spacers...trust me.
