Thank You. Just ordered widened rear tubs, I must have wider tires in the rear. Time will tell where this goes. LOL

When u get the wider rear tubs n place then you will go even more down the rabbit hole and get the wider front tubs ….lmao. Looks like 315’s and forged rims are n the future 4 you.

I just finished installing the rear kit for stock trailing arms. Rides way better than my last set-up of Ridetech RC shocks @ 6" ECE lowering springs. I will say that once you get to the part of the instructions that say "some trimming may be required to fit brackets onto stock arms" take a deep breath! I'm the type that troubleshoots with a scalpel rather than a chainsaw. I stated with a grinder and ended with a sawzall. Took a lot of passes (a little bit at a time) to get the brackets on. Then when I went to bolt on the Coil-over bracket the bolts hit the TA and I had to trim some more. Would be great if QA-1 had some templates to show how to trim. Now that it's all together I am stoked so all the work and headache was worth it.

Nice. If you add the QA Sway Bar it will improve even more
