id rather put the low profile bolt on there, and i coultn find 305/35/17 they only make it on an 18 inch wheel. at least what i could find. i have also heard of people using wheel spacers just a small one to correct this issue also.

You could do that but a 10.5 already sticks out a bit just go ahead and order the bolts. Order from lethal performance and they will be here in 3 days.

so i ordered the sub frame bolts and the installatins said to torque to 78ft-lbs and the OEM bolts are like 180? is that right? seems like a washer and maybe thread pitch is a lot to make up 100 ft-lb more or less.

I dont see the oem bolts being 180ft-lbs, i took mine out to drop the springs out with only a rachet.

if you read the lowering spring instructions from american muscle or any of the write ups they say to torque to 180ft-lb or am i mistaking this for another bolt.
