Default Before and after pics of leveling kit and tires

This is my first post here. I wanted to say thanks for all the posts that i researched when deciding on a leveling kit and tires. I went with the RC 2" kit and 275/70R18 Kelly Safari TSR tires. The front driver side rubbed the mudflap at the top where there was a square corner sticking out. It only rubbed in reverse and if you were nose down at an angle and at a certain steering angle. I hit it with a dremmel and sanded the edge down and it took care of the problem. Thats the only thing i had to modify. Without mudflaps it would have been fine. Any questions feel free to ask. Now for the pics:
