looks great! i just got my springs in, waiting to install. then next are 22x10.5 or 11.
There’s no good compromise for a 22x11 up front. They fit great out back though.

There’s some heavy negative camber out back that can’t be corrected with the oem parts. I’m going to try the SPC camber bolts this week to see if the ones from a 2019 fit.

Man....Now you have me a bit concerned that I should hold off until a rear camber solution is out there.

Mine is -2.1 on one side and -2.2 on the other. Front aligned perfectly and everything put back except camber did. It’s not the end of the world...just looks kind of fucked up to me.

Did you have any issues with alignment? Is doing a new alignment needed after new springs?

My opinion: you should always have an aligment after suspension changes, but others may tell you different.

My alignment appointment is tomorrow afternoon at a race shop in Charleroi. I’m anxious to see what happens since UNBROKEN has said he’s got rear camber issues. If there are issues, I’m hoping they can find a solution.

Unbroken, I’m sure you’ll post on your findings on the rear camber issue. My springs are due here by Friday. Think I’ll wait for the install until you do the research. Thanks! Your truck is looking great and thanks for all of your up dates. Jim

No worries. We all need the info and I hate waiting on someone to try something. The bolts will be here Thursday according to tracking...I’ll test fit them that afternoon.

can't decide on staggering with 10.5 up front and 11 out back or go for 10.5 all around

Just for rotation purposes it’s worth it to do 10.5s all around. My personal opinion after owning too many cars with staggered fitment. Jim

That was the driving factor behind my decision.

22x9 +20 offset. I’m running 275/45.
The front looks good but wish the rear stuck out about 1/2 inch more. I wish I would’ve gone with wider rims as well, the 9s don’t look bad but I like the look of a 10 or 10.5 better. Looks more stout.
That offset correct? im shopping now, and reading, seems +30 is where people want to be. Thats alos on wider tired however, i like the 22x9 wheels, but the set im after says +32, but i did change the tires to a 305/40 after you mentioned it

Offset changes with wheel width. If you’re buying an off-the-shelf wheel you’ll be stuck with what they offer...most will be close to oem fitment. The oem 21x9 is +37.5mm. A 22x9 at +32 will be pushed out roughly 1/4” further.
And keep in mind most shops won’t put a 305 on anything below a 10” wheel. I personally wouldn’t run anything less than a 10” wheel...there’s zero cons and the will look a lot better.
