Geoff,
Thanks, I have had good time with the build, I'm not done yet,still have many issues to finish.

The rear wheel spacers were bought from Summit.They listed as a metric version for the six lug pattern. 139.7mm x 30 mm. I think they were made for a Toyota. I took a chance and ordered them, They worked just fine, bolted right up. I did have to install longer lugs in my axles to get full thread engagement. I found the longer lugs at my local Oreilly's parts store. If you
lower your truck more than 3", you might consider the 25mm thk. spacer to
give you a smigen more tire clearence.

Good luck,
Dale
