2003 6.0 4wd Limited
Stock- 23 1/2” all four corners
ATS X and Modified C’s- 26” front 27 1/2” rear
Fits 305/70R18’s now no leaf rub just about 1/4” at the rear of fender well at full lock both ways. Heat gun wil fix that.
I added an adjustable track bar and lengthened it about 3/4” more than stock to get the front axle pulled back over to center. Also installed Bilstein 5100’s and a Hellwig Big Rig rear sway bar. I am very happy with the ride! They are not rough at all and the trailer doesn’t make her sag at all.
Right after installing the X’s
I sprayed them with 4 more coats of flat black begore the install

Looking good! What is your wheel width and offset?
I got the wheels from KrazeeMatt. They are 35x12.50R18 with I think a -40 offset? The outside lip is 3.75”
Maybe 18x9's? Could be 18x10's -19. Are the tires completely tucked under the fender?
How is the rubbing when turning up/down a grade?
I have some worn out X codes, measure Front Driver 25" Front Pass 25.75", and am getting ready to add 3" shackles. Trying to get a feel for how wide a wheel I'll be able to clear.
I just added 2” Icon front hangers and shackles and replaced the rear 2 1/2” block with a 4” tapered block. X and Mod C’s on top and the rims are 18x10” with 305/70’s with zero rub. These are a little larger than 35x12.5 so a regular 35x12.5 should fit even better.
@SmackDaddy Any chance you can get a front on or Rear forward pick to show how much the wheels stick out? Trying to decide on if I want 20x10s or 20x12s. How much room is there between the tire and the rear fender lip when you crank your wheels?
SD springs installed, X's up front and stock B's for now in the rear. going to mod them but didn't have the new center pins when I was doing it so I just threw them on for the time being.
Front is 26.5"
Rear is 25.5".
Hopefully the mod will get me an 1" in height so I have a little rake.
I want to play too, but I haven't begun the suspension work yet... So how about some "before" measurements taken from a stock 182K '00 V10 with a half-inch between the only remaining bumpstop and the front spring?
FRONT- 22.5
REAR- 25.5
Assuming I remember, I'll come back here and post the "after" measurements and what I did, when I get done.
