I didn’t t do the diff drop. After doing research it’s honestly not needed with 3.5 inches of lift.
Thanks for the pics I have Fox coil over in the front, with superlift suspension 3.5 inch and Eibach in the rear. I'm going to thesame as you have in the near future in the front setup. I think it is better without the spacer. Did you do a diff drop?

Did the Eibach front came in at 3.5 inch adjusted from factory or you have to adjust it?

It was set at 2.5 inches. I had to adjust it. The good thing about Eibach coilovers is that you can adjust them on the truck.

285/70/17 kanati trail hogs waiting on some spacers because they are close to the spindle and uca but they do fit just will rub if you air down and hit hard bumps.

How are you liking the Kanati tires? Still curious since I havent heard of them until you brought them up

only have a few hundred miles on them and its Alaskan roads so 95% ice and 5% actually be able to touch pavement, so far, they are miles better than the stock tires in ice and I didn't even stud them. They eat snow for days and will never get stuck. I assume they are basically equivalent to the duratracs as they look identical. Can't say much on road noise as ice roads make noise no matter what your tires are. From my research the center sipping might be a little shallow, but I can't see that yet with how new they are. Definitely would recommend them for what they cost down in the lower 48. Think they are a softer compound so hot weather might also make them wear faster than they do up here.

I went with the 295 70 18, leveling kit up front and crash bars removed. 4.5" backspace on the wheels.

Factory offset is +55

25 offset would basically be a factory wheel with a 1.25” (?) spacer.

1” = 25mm

I ran factory wheels with 2” spacer which made them effectively 5+ offset.
Isn't 1/4in =6mm so a +25 mm offset on factory wheels would be .75in or 3/4in or 20mm spacers ???

Incorrect. @OFC Ranger has it right. A +25 offset is 30MM different from a +55. Divide 30 by 6. You get 5. Multiply 1/4 by 5 and you get 1.25

Personally dont recommend spacers. With that said I ran 285/70-17 Firestone Destination XT's on the Factory Sport wheels with no spacers. Only had rub at full lock. Still had factory crash bars. Of course this was with the Old Man EMU lift

-12 mm offset
I wanted to go with -12mm offset wheels. Other than the level kit was anything else needed so they didn't rub? other than removing the crash bars I assume
