I threw some 315/75r16 BFG's on my CCLB. They rub the leaf springs, but hopefully I'll be doing a SD coil spring axle swap soon.

You're talking about coil springs on the front? Don't think I would do it.
Is that an F250 ?

It's an F350. And yes, coil springs up front. Basically taking the suspension from a 2005-2007 Superduty. There's quite a few build threads on the internet of it. I think I might lift it 4" at the same time.

Awesome! I've been looking at running those 24bolt wheels. They look great on your truck

Thanks! it says "miss behavin" in white and has a wwII style pinup girl on the left. I actually just put my white tailgate from my other f350 on there this evening. It was a little too much for me.

Those 24 bolt wheels look really cool but I think they make the tires rub at full crank so I'm considering getting some new deeper wheels.

Thanks. I went with a mini leaf pack. It was supposed to be a 2" pack, but I had to remove some old mini leaf things that someone had installed sometime in the past so I only got 1.25".

Bad #$$. What width spacers are on the hubs to run the hummer wheels? Any spring rub?
