+++ narrowing rear end advise++++
#13
Thanks. My back space is 4.25 and having dual piston caliper was challenging rotating them so they wouldn't hit the leaf spring. But it all fit without tub. I think a reverse lip 10" would need tubbing or I was told, and then of course a 12 would definitely need it. You would hit the leaf spring before the tubs. Are yours 10" wide? What's your back space?

You should be able to cut more and clear the fender better in case you want to go lower in the future. I would have to roll my fender if I want to go lower. I narrowed 2.5" so I could run a 2.5 spacer and use my stock wheels. I also did it for my front wheels and rear wheels would look like they lined up looking at them from the back. I had seen several narrowed trucks were the rear looked like it was sunk in to much, and the front look like it stuck out farther than the rears. I didn't like that very much I'm sure they did it for clearance. Good luck with your narrow it will look great once it's done.

Thanks! I’m also planning on running spacers for my stock SS wheels hopefully I’m happy with the outcome... btw what size of lugnuts are you using??? I got 2in lug nuts and I don’t like the way they stick out of the wheel...looking for some like yours that don’t stick out of the wheels

MCGARD 65515, this is the part number I used and got another set of locks. They are 1.5" tall lug nuts.
