Hey SLAMMED67 what backspacing did you use on your wheels?? Also what kind of brake pedal response do you have versus the booster setup. I also want to clean up my fire wall. I wanted to use turners under cab kit but it leaves limited room for the exhaust!!

Orange 72 do you think the notch is to much?? I think it looks great but when you bolt the bed on it looks as if the bed will bottom out way before the axle nears the top of the notch?? Not downing you just asking??

I agree. It looks really big from here....

My front wheels are 18x8 with 4.5" b.s.

As for the brakes, I'm pretty happy with how it stops without the booster. Of course it takes a little more leg pressure, but it's not bad. I left the two upper holes in the firewall in case I want to switch back to a booster. I just put some polished stainless steel pan head bolts in the unused holes.

nope the axle hits with the bed just a a couple inches off the ground. next break i get ill try to get a couple pics.

Does this backspacing seem to be what you wanted or would you change it if you did it again??

Slammed67 · 08-28-2003, 10:44 PM

I'm happy with the back spacing. 4.5" is the least you'd want to use and I wouldn't go with any more than 5". The only thing I'm somewhat unhappy with is that my front tires have a little more bulge in the sidewall than the rears. But it's hard to find tires in the exact size you want for a particular brand.

I am looking for a little bulge in the tire. I am running 33 x 19.50 x 15 in the rear so they will have some bulge. How about if I ran the same tire with a 8.5 rim. That would stretch it just enough?? What brand tire are you using now??

Nice motor pic...

orange72 · 08-29-2003, 12:14 PM

i know some of yall are asking about how low that looks and i just realized why it looks like it would drag. that notch only looks big in the back because i included the 3 inch body drop into the rear frame rails by lowering them 3 inches. that way i could leave the bed behind the notch alone and only raise the front of the bed up. i dont have any more pictures that yall havent already seen anyways.
