Don’t forget that you can sometimes simply use a wheel spacer to get the clearance-
At the same time I know you’re trying to keep it close to the rig and you also are getting presented with a good realm of information so I’m not trying to override any of that-
Exactly that set up works on mine, however after wheeling for a couple years the bracket started to weaken and needed to be re-welded and strengthened a little. I also added a 90deg angle bracket to the rear bumper, directly under the tire to support it.
That sounds right. It’s been several years since I installed it. I’m running 11.5 wide tires on the stock 5.5” back space rims and I think I lengthened the snubbers by about an inch.
