Why do you plan to lift it so high (8.5")? Aren't you just running 35's?
Yup, I'm running 32's with 4.5 inches of lift right now and rubbing like crazy. I want to be able to run the 35s and not rub without chopping up the fenders. Its mostly a beach rig so the COG is not so much important for what it is being built to do.
