Narrowing rearend
 

Hi i got some 15x14s im thinking of using any idea what it should cost to have my rearend narrowed

Re: Narrowing rearend
 

is it a stock 12 bolt truck rear?

Re: Narrowing rearend
 

Yes

Re: Narrowing rearend
 

About $500.00 if you buy new axles.... $150-200 to narrow the housing and around $300 for a pair of axles

Thanks alot

Look at "my sorta build thread" in my signature. I'm running 15x14's and 18.5's with a stock 12 bolt. They will fit but you have to have the right offset.

Your truck is really nice but the deep lip is almost as nice as that really wide rear tire

Re: Narrowing rearend
 

No doubt if you want the crazy deep look you need to narrow. Just throwing this out there.........

Take a hard look at your gears and if it's a posi. Sometimes this is when a guy needs to think 9" Ford. Granted, if you have a posi and the right gears, just narrowing it isn't too bad in cost. If those things are not what you want, sometimes it easier to find the 9" already narrowed with the right gears and a posi and just swap the brackets. I will be doing a 9" with coil overs on my truck down the road. Just a thought

I agree the 9 inch is the best way to go if you can.

All along I thought I'd need to narrow the rear. OMG!!! Gotta tub the stepside! :metal:

Re: Narrowing rearend
 

or you could cut a set of stock wheels and add some back space cheap

Re: Narrowing rearend
 

Just do it......its only money and you cant take it with you.:lol:

Re: Narrowing rearend
 

My favorite thing to look at on my truck is my 9in...:lol: I have the bed cut up just to look at it. Chopped 2in on both sides.

I wish I would have thought about a 9" before I built up my 12 bolt. Heck, I'd still like to do it, but then I'd have to order new wheels too, so it would cost ~2k just for a cooler deeper dish look.
