I'll take it with either rear set up. My plans will most likely have that part of the bike heavily modified anyway.....and that is really the problem.

If I find a really nice bike that is not all cut up or modified, I'm not sure I could bring myself to doing my project with it.

If I find a cut up ragged out pile of ****, yeah thats a good start for what I want to do, but I've rarely been involved in a bike build that was pleasant starting out with a basket case.

Let me know if you run across one. Regardless of condition. I'm in the market and shopping.

I know of a pair of twin shock bikes.
Both nice (one nicer then the other) and come with a large lot of period correct parts.

Seller has an all or nothing stance though.
Price is fair at $10k though.

Ruined the truck over the weekend.

Need to get an alignment. While this is a stupid thing to say, I am supersized how much it seems to run on the inner lining. Will have to trim that back a bit when I put the transport wheels on it.

I assume the shop will align to factory specs, or as close as they can get.
Happy with how the truck rides.
Hope that the 22s help a bit with the rubbing as they have a slightly smaller outer diameter and I read the back spacing is better too.

Wow! That's a ton of negative camber you got going on there. Front looks bagged instead of static...

I'd try to find an old school alignment shop where the guys understand what it takes to make a vehicle handle and wear tires correctly, instead of going "by what the computer says." This is where I've always had the best luck with dropped trucks. Hell back in Atlanta the guys that aligned my dropped truck correctly were actually a "big truck" shop (BIG MOE Spring & Alignment) usually working on big rigs. They also did a hell of a job balancing my driveshafts - 2 piece shaft in my extended cab long bed with a 5/7 drop.

Yeah we did not touch anything with the camber when we dropped it.
Probably should have at least tried to get the camber "close" before wrapping up the install.

Plan to use an "old school" shop that is local.
They have a pit so all the lowered guys use them, rather then guys that use a rack and turn the lowered cars/trucks away.

My fear is that the negative camber is actually keeping the wheels from hitting the fenders, and once aligned properly the rubbing will be worse...
