Re: wheel backspace
Sure.
But you have the answer right in front of you. Remove the springs and lay the truck out. You will need an adjustable track bar to re-center the rearend. Seems like you could tell us if this will work, instead of the other way around. Use quality shocks and rear shock relocators also. Trim any bumpstops or brackets that are in the way.

For 80 bucks you can buy a percys wheelrite that will let you test out any rim size and backspacing you can think of.
