wheel fitment and suspension information needed
 
Some constructive information needed:

After some reading and numbers crunching.......I find that my cab and chassis rear differential that I thought was going to save me alot of body carnage getting semis to fit, now has to be changed out. Being that I am not linking or bagging my truck right away, the wheels will hit the leaf springs, even going with the direct bolt ons is now not in the cards as has the same issue.

So...the way I have things figured, is that I need to take a normal 14 bolt differential (have a couple already) and use that as it will move my tires outward from the C and C differential location 2" per side, but bring them inboard 2.25" from where a stock dually is situated.

make sense? Or am I missing something.



....and on another note, what is peoples constructive critisism on the airbar setups for the one ton duallys? What is the best setup out there, or to a well built system that functions well for a daily driver/hauler.
