    I Keep Coming Back !

    I run spacer on mine and never had an issue I know some frown upon them due to safety if the spacer comes loose. But I can tell I used them for years and swapped wheels in the winter and summer and have never found a loose lug. just make sure you torque them down and you should be fine

    Aftermarket wheels?

    I know my Expy is the older gen but as far as ride change the truck felt smoother with the wheels but that could be more of the tire issue. My factory wheels are 20's on BF goodrich T/A KO2 tires (my winter setup)and my 22 which are Asanti Alpha 5 22's are on yokohama Parada Spec X (summer).

    Suspension upgrade suggestions - Rancho Quicklift or Bilstein + Spacers?

    I put on the readylift ranchos on my 2010 Expy EL gave it good lift and level it out the body. The ride so much better it corners a lot better than stock and handle bumps really well. I was also able to fit 305/40/22 which gave the truck a whole different look
