53 4-link rearend in and 3inch white walls
Finally got the 4-link in last week and got my tires in on Friday so here are some pics... will notch the frame when my bag brackets get here Monday or Tuesday they should be here... I will get about another inch out of the stance when I notch the frame which will put the rearend touching the under side of the bed and the bed will be raised 1inch.. Went with 15x10 on the rear with 255/60R/15 and 15x8 on the front with 215/70R15 which I can turn the wheel inside the wheel well with the air out and still turn both ways without rubbing the inside of the fender COOL..Going with over the axle bags and brackets and attaching it to the notch and then making a 2inch spacer to kick the shock out on the lower bracket and weld to tabs on the notch also.. will get more pics when done,, camera was dead so these pics are from my phone..

That looks great.
Those are the wheel dimensions I was wanting to run. What front end are you using, and what 4 link? Thanks in advance.

Re: 53 4-link rearend in and 3inch white walls
That's perfect!!! Did you move the axle centerlines at all? They are well-proportioned. Any pics of your frame build?

Re: 53 4-link rearend in and 3inch white walls
looks great with the wide whites my favorite. Gotta get them to rebalance that front tire if they can and move the weight to the inside of the rim.

Re: 53 4-link rearend in and 3inch white walls
Do you have any pics of the TCI IFS and do you mind asking where you got it and what the price was? Information on the air bag version is really hard to come by, I'm wondering what the differences are from the coil over version.
