I'm guessing you installed slip on spacers?

If you did, consider bolt-on spacers (i.e. like KICS Spacers, H&R spacers, which come in bolt-on or come w/ longer studs).

Or get longer studs, such as nismo studs, which can give you an extra 15-20mm on each stud or so.

Yep, bolt on spacers or longer studs. I'm not sure if Nismo makes longer studs to fit the Armada. If not, try ARP (same company the makes engine rod bolts and head studs). Ive heard they make quality wheel studs and might have something to fit your truck.
