ok so after reading those :) N2TRUX said BTW- If it's not a square, don't post it. ( don't know where all the apparent stepside hate coming from. :P We are classic too.) And also the second thread seemed to be a much older stepside. Where the rear fender might be the problem. It seems that there is plenty of room in the rear (maybe i'm wrong) 1981. I was mostly wondering if i have to modify the innerfenders up front or what my year model would look like Stepside with this done I don't wanna slam it to the ground. Just a moderate drop. I'm new to this so be kind :)

hey buddy! just wanted to point out that there was a number of post that were taken out of that 1st thread. N2TRUX made that comment about other vehicles. it had nothing to do with stepsides. no hating bro;)

the links were posted to give you a general idea of what its gonna take to put 22s on not a particular style or year model personally i dont care for the 22s from what ive read on here though theres some work to be done maybe not tho maybe someone would care to give you some input

Its easy... We put 22s on my friends with a 40 series tire and did a 3/3 drop. Plenty more room to go lower in the rear, the front with that tall of a tire you would have to either beat in your fenders of just remove them. 22s with a 35 series tire would work the best, no reason why you couldnt go 4/6

The most important thing, is the backspace of the wheel. Or offset which is what most people refer to.
