I have the Fabtech 3" kit with 15x8" rims with 3 3/4" backspacing. I tried the 32s but I would have to do a considerable amount of trimming. I went with the 31s instead. As far as how far they stick out, if you have 3 3/4" backspacing on 15x8s then they will stick out about an 1" to 1 1/2". I bought some bushwacker fender flares and they cover the tires nicely and cut down on the stone chips.

If you are having a hard time finding wheels that fit consider using a billet adapter. The term adapter is sort of misleading as it's really a billet spacer. For some reason the manufacturers call them adapters - go figure.
I run the spacers on my truck and have over 65,000 miles on them. I run a 3" CST Daktoa kit with the stock 15" wheels. The truck has driven hard enough that I can honestly say the spacers are darn near bulletproof. Going this route opens up the wheel choice and they aren't that expensive. If you need a set let me know.

When I first put my lift on the a-arms were hitting the frame when going over bumps and, but after a while the springs settled a little and they don't hit the frame at all now. Just give it some time!

I finally took some pics of my truck a couple weeks ago but they're still in the camera, haven't downloaded them to my computer yet. I'll send you the pics when I do that. As far as how long it took for the springs to settle I'm really not sure. I'm guessing maybe a month or so? I do mainly city driving here in Orlando with an occasional outing on the beach when the surf is good! (In Florida that's not often!)

I was wondering If and what problems I might encounter with a 3 inch body lift on a 3 inch fabtech lift, and would 33's on 15x10 inch wheels suit the lift well. Any feedback is helpful

I have both a 3 inch Fabtech kit and a 3 inch PA body lift and if I was you I'd wait for the body kit and put 33's on. That's whatI did and with just a little bit of trimming I'm really happy I did. Also you might want to try out 15x8's instead of 15x10's. Little cheaper when it comes to tires and and I think 15x8's look good. Greg

Man thats what most of us want to do this time. We cant stand to think of going over there and sit on our a$$es wondering whether or not we're gonna do something! Tempo has really gone up though, things are getting more stressful in the military! Just the way it should be, like back when I came in!
