Height issues could be resolved by a mild 1" lift and width issues could be remedied by an aftermarket wheel with a more mild offset (I think). This is by no means biblical, and depending on what kinda gear you have affecting the trucks weight, driving habits and what not, you may not have any issues. All in all, its a case by case situation. Why not throw on a mild lift and solve any potential problem on the front side? Luke   Carl E.

(no comments DEAN!) ..I'm thinking about a CB lift. It's a 99 with ACE. I don't think a mild lift would effect the ACE. I have a set of Range Rover 16" wheels that I plan to use. Thank for your help Luke. Guess I'll just have to try them and see.

Don't know much about CB lifts, but if you are interested in OME, I have a 'new in box' set of rear springs for a DII (they are medium duty). Could save you a few bucks in the end. -Luke   Carl E.

A CB (Cheap Bastard) lift is OEMs in the rear and move the stock rear springs to the front. I'll write you off line about the springs.
