Great job on the rebuild, looks REALLY clean.

What spacers are you running on the duals with the 35s?

i don't know about your state, but those tires wouldn't pass utah safety inspection.
they are to wide, the fenders don't cover the tread and no mud flaps.....
a inspection station here had their license suspended for passing a pickup with too wide of tires
