You tried a 'search' of the forum yet? It would yield quite a few threads on the subject.

I narrowed the rear end on my truck. Bassically I had 2 inches taken off on each side on the outer portion before the saddle. This way I didn't have to do anything to the saddles because they lined up just as before.

View from the Right Side:





I'm not running a 20 x 12 wheel with a 6 inch backspace with plenty of room to space if and when I choose to go bigger. Oh aand my tubs are stretched.

I started doing CrossFit about a year and a half ago and my rear end has narrowed up for sure! lol



Man.....that is a lot of work and money just for a little more dish. I would think it would only be worth it for A LOT more dish. I cheated.....I'm running 15x14 wheels and didn't touch the rear end. Just tubed the bed and ordered custom offsets. Can only be done with a coil rear end though.

Hey DaddyO, I've got mine set up EXACTLY like yours . . . 2" off each end, 2" tub on each side and 20x12's with a 5" coil spring drop in the rear. What tire are you running? What are you running on the fronts?
