I DONT HAVE THE FABTECH A ARMS. I HAVE THE +2 INCH COILS AND 3 INCH BODYLIFT.
WILL DECREASING THE BACK SPACING (MOVING TIRES OUTWARDS) REDUCE TIRE RUB? OR DOES IT MAKE IT WORSE?

dmachine, I am thinking of getting the same setup. What size tires are you running or planning on running with these lifts? What backspacing do you have now?

I have stock 16x8 wheels with 5.5 back spacing. I have the body lift installed but haven't put in the coils yet. I'm returning the coils so I can get the Ram 1500 2WD 2" daystar coil spacers. They give about +3 lift. There's at least one guy who has them and said his truck still alligned with out the a-arms. Then I'm planning on putting in 285/75/16's. I'm not sure if they'll fit because I haven't seen anyone with the Daystar 2" RAM coil spacers and a body lift. Thats why I'm wondering if I need new wheels.

Well, I am extremely interested to see if it will work because I am probably going to have the exact same setup if it does. Would you mind keeping me posted with the latest? Thanks

I believe the answer to your question about using the factory rims with the daystar coil spacers is a yes. Check out this post regarding the topic. 2 inch coil spacers
