The ever important wheel/tire sizes on this truck:

American Racing Salt Flats: Grey center, polished hoop
Michelin Pilot Super Sports

Front:
• 20x9.5” w/4.25” BS
• 265/35R20

Rear:
• 20x10 w/4” BS
• 285/35R20

These fit in the 100% stock wheel houses front adn rear. No modifications to the inner fenders or rear wheel tubs.

Any chance we could get the track width measurments front and rear from mounting surface to mounting surface? I looked on the website and didnt see anything in the specs. I just wanted to see how your new crossmember/rear end compared to stock and others that are available...

I would also like to know how much ground clearance you have under the crossmember as well as under the frame rails at the front cab mounts.

I noticed that you have an option of stock or 2" drop spindles. Which one does this truck have? This seems to be just about what I would like to use on my truck, but I want the ride height a little lower than what it is. I'm hoping that there is a way to bring it down further.

The front track width is 61.75". We have a 9.5" wheel with 4.25" back spacing and a 265/35R20 tire. It has full turn, lock to lock with no interference. Inner fenders are 100% stock, untouched.

The rear track on this truck is 60". We have a 10" wide wheel with 4" back spacing and a 295/35R20 tire. Again, 100% stock, untouched rear wheel wells. On the rear axle, we can easily make that any size you may want from 55" to 60".

**Measurements are wheel mount surface to wheel mount surface

Ground clearance under the crossmember was a big concern. We have seen too many of these trucks where the crossmember is scraping on the ground, or spring pockets in control arms are an inch off the ground.

On this truck, with a 27.2" tall tire, the front crossmember is 5.25" off the ground. The bottom of the frame rail is 6-5/8" at the front cab mount

This truck has the 2" drop spindles on it.

The ride height is limited by the "bolt-on" factor of this suspension system. It could be made lower, but that would get into some significant fabrication to the front rails and rear frame rails, raising the engine/trans and building a trans tunnel in the truck, and stepping the rear rails which would require modifying the bed floor. The goal was to keep fabrication to a minimum with this system. If you are looking for something lower, our complete chassis will sit the truck about 2" - 3" lower.
