Ok here it is...I have 16 inch stock rims and my body lift is going on in the next week or so when i have time....After the lift is on i'm going to order some 305's to put on my stocks
i can't afford to buy the ims and tires all at the same time so i'm going to go one by one but what is the difference in the 15x10 and the 16x10's??
are 16x10's too big and wide to where they will caust oo much rubbing problems?? worse than the 15x10's??
thanks,

I have an 02 4x4 with a 3" PA Body Lift. I went with the 15x10 Eagle Alloys (3.62 backspacing) and 33x12.50 ProComp XTerrains. **The 15" rims will look deeper than 16" rims** Fender trimming was necessary and cranked the torsion bars four turns also.

Well my girlfriends dad owns a Dodge Dealership so the mechanic there cranked my torsion bars (but you can do it, all you need to do is lift your truck up) - The torsion bars are under the truck (about middle door length) and they extend from the front tire area (it's kind of hard for me to try and explain it) - but theres just one bolt looking thing on each of the two bars and you just turn it 360* however many times you want. I went four turns to make my truck sit about level (maybe 1/4 lower in front still).
As for trimming the bumper all you need is masking tape and a sharp razor knife. I cut about 2" (angle) off the front bumper and about 2" off the bottom back fender flare. As for the inner black piece you will need to cut the back about 3" up and 6" over and the front piece doesn't have to be cut, just pull it forward and shoot a screw up from the bottom of the bumper to hold it in it's new place.
