here's the deal. there is only a certain distance between the outer fender lip and the inside of the fender, which is not much more than 10" as I recall. That being so, the outer measurements of your rear wheels is going to be a factor. The other problem is that the INSIDE measurements of your wheels will be a factor too. Basically, if you're going to bag the truck (most likely wanting to drop it to the floor), you will have to do one of several things:

1. Use stock rear end, change wheel/tire combo to fit in the rear fenders properly.

2. Use stock rear end, buy 3" widened rear fiberglass fenders, change wheel/tire combo to fit.

3. Use stock or modifed rear end, tub the bed to you liking, use wheel/tire combo to fit your needs.


Hope this helps! Good luck!
