double check your rear is centered and what size tires are you running?

You will most likely need about a 3/4" spacer, it looks like its off by about .787" (20mm) in the rear. You need a 36mm offset on a 10.5-11" wheel.

make sure it's centered with an adjustable panhard bar before you get the spacers.

Do a search on the board, adjustable panhard bar center the rear of your axle, 99 percent of them are not centered perfect from the factory, so if it's off the left or right you will get rubbing.
