Re: 75 Dually build

Just a reminder for me and everyone who may have any questions on the specifics to your rearend setup lol

Knowing that I do not have to modify those stock fenders is a huge relief.

The reason for the lack of clearance issues is Tennessee Wheel and Tire machined the face of the rear rims, and that gave me the 3/4" of clearance I needed. I cannot thank Trevor enough. If you want work done for your dually wheels that is the place to go!

I cannot tell you how happy I am that I do not have to modify the rear fenders. That saves me days and days of work. Now I can concentrate on some more important portions of the build.

Stay tuned

He cuts the inner surface where the bead sits. I also got the rear 4 rims face milled 3/8". That gave me the correct dimensions to tuck the rear with stock fenders. That was $75 or $100 per wheel for the face milling, for some reason I can't remember the exact cost on that. Maybe I am suffering from CRS... Can't Remember Stuff!
Which all adds up to-
3/4 ton SRW 14B axle complete
Semi wheels faced 3/8" per wheel on all 4 rears
285/xx/22 tire

The magical combo per se.
