Those don't look like the 3/8" axle mounts that come with the set...did you have to make different ones?

With your wheels on, How much room is between the frame and the wheels. Just trying to get an idea because I'm gonna run stock inner wheel and then later go to semi wheel whenever I find 2 more.

So I got it mocked up and wanted to put the rims on and check the clearances. I cannot be more pleased right now. The measurements worked put perfectly with that 3/4 ton rear end, the rims and tires are going to tuck right up in the stock fenders! Knowing that I do not have to modify those stock fenders is a huge relief.

Got all my tires mounted today (finally!). So tonight I put the rear duals on. I was seriously crossing my fingers as I checked out the clearances as I raised the rear end. I was so happy to find out all the hard work paid off!! No clearance issues!!! I have 1/2" total clearance at the top when the rear is at it's lowest point.

The reason for the lack of clearance issues is Tennessee Wheel and Tire machined the face of the rear rims, and that gave me the 3/4" of clearance I needed. I cannot thank Trevor enough. If you want work done for your dually wheels that is the place to go!

I cannot tell you how happy I am that I do not have to modify the rear fenders. That saves me days and days of work. Now I can concentrate on some more important portions of the build.

Stay tuned

Karl,

TW&T did all my work as you know. They are really great to work with! If I remember it right Trevor charged me $125 per wheel for the machining from 22.5" to 22". He cuts the inner surface where the bead sits. I also got the rear 4 rims face milled 3/8". That gave me the correct dimensions to tuck the rear with stock fenders. That was $75 or $100 per wheel for the face milling, for some reason I can't remember the exact cost on that. Maybe I am suffering from CRS... Can't Remember Stuff! ;)

Just a reminder for me and everyone who may have any questions on the specifics to your rearend setup lol








Which all adds up to-
3/4 ton SRW 14B axle complete
Semi wheels faced 3/8" per wheel on all 4 rears
285/xx/22 tire

The magical combo per se.

Looks like it's coming together really well for you. How long did you end up making your bars?

Looking good. How do you zero out the sensor when setting it up. I haven't messed with accuair yet.

The pic from above makes me think it would be possible to fab a notch that notches inward as well as up, like a pinch - notch, that would allow mounting the bags on top or behind the axle, yet still inboard of the link bars.

The new one came in today, so off the old one came, and now it is replaced. I figured while I was under the hood I would replace the upper radiator hose too. The old one failed during our trip home from LST, so it got a trip to the trash can, and the new one is now in it's new home. It's the little things that can drive you up a wall... Now on to the Watts Link. Gotta get it done because we have a local show next weekend and I want this big girl buttoned back up so I can slam it on the ground. That just sounds wrong doesn't it...

Nah...slamming it on the ground sounds totally right! :-)

Did you buy an aftermarket hydroboost or did the truck come stock with one?
