First remove the lower strut spacer and replace it with a upper or a replacement strut. There’s been documented reasons why to also rough country no longer recommends it for the 19 and newer Gm trucks. Secondly if you want a little poke or flush stick with the +1 to 0 offset ( should be more flush) negative offset will make it poke out more

Why is that? Because all of the forums and shops I've spoke to mention top mounts putting pre load stress on the ball joints and othe components. Where as the bottom mount does now.

Because the lower strut spacers cause contact with the cv boot. As showed in the photo . And the photo is of the Readylift 2 inch lower strut spacer with the truck on flat ground

Ah, that's the first time I've heard/seen anything like that. I've heard a lot of positives about it. If that ends up being the case I'll end up swapping out to the upper mounts.

Obviously each truck will have various differences but definitely something to check on your rig to make sure you have enough clearance so you don’t rip a cv boot. I’ve got the zone off-road 2 inch top spacer sitting in the garage, I’ll post pics once I get it on to see how it looks. I know the Rough Country leveling STRUTS have plenty of clearance. Just more expensive

Yeah that's very true. I appreciate the information and the advice on looking into it. I don't want to havd any issues especially since I just hit 12k on her haha.

I have the Rough Country strut assembly with the 2" upper spacer I am going to put on my '19 RST (as soon as I can get into my buddies shop). I had a '16 with the 2" lower C spacer while it didn't have any long term issues, it was contacting the CV boot as described above.

If you are just concerned about poke I think you are right to be looking at the +1 or +10 offsets. I put 305/50 ridge grapplers on a -12 offset rim and I probably got a little bit more poke than you want, I almost wish I had went with the +1 offset myself...

Yeah, that was sorta my fear. I ordered 20x9 0 offset today. Wrapping them in federal Xplora RT 33x12.5"

I wanted the ridge grapplers but I could justify 1400$ for 4 compared to 775$ for the federal. These new federals have gotten great reviews for highway noise and overall handling. Going to run 3/8th spacers to clear calipers.

I actually found the post and picture you shared. Granted it was a 1500 but it was a diesel version that they attributed the add weight to the issue. Either way rough country still has shipped my order and I need it in hand by next Tuesday the 5th so we're going with a different company.

Installed it yesterday. Front now sits 39" rear sits 38.85"

Not sure if anything will settle like coils do. Yet either way to the naked eye it's hard to tell right away. Wheels will be in at some point next week I hope.

Just a quick update. I have had a terrible time with custom offsets and cancelled my order completely. I went with real truck.com and placed an order for Fuel Tech (black) 20x9 +1 offset. Wrapped in Nitto ridge grapplers 33x12.5.

They should ship Monday so I look forward to posting the after photos.

Any chance you could take a down the side shot to see how far they stick outside fender? Much appreciated.
