Looks good! Did you do the install yourself?
I need to raise the front a bit more on mine too. I have the TC lowering shackles in the back but there is still more rake than I'd like.

The ProComp 35x12.50x18 XTerrains rubbed on the spindle upright. I needed a spacer for clearance, so I made my own from aluminum. The spacers are hubcentric to provide strength and no vibration. The spacers are 1/2" thick. That required longer wheel studs, that are larger in diameter for extra strength. The ride is great although with spirited driving off road it shows its limitations, so saving the $ for upgraded coilovers, etc.
Those spacers look great. Good information about the rubbing with a CST 7" kit and OEM rims. Btw for anyone planning this kit, the OEM rims are 18x8 +25mm offset, so for an aftermaket 8" rim, it sounds like at least a +18mm offset minimum, or +12mm offset to match ORT's 1/2" spacer, and clear 12.5" tires.
