None of the suspension is stock. Calvert monoleaf with 2" drop, caltracs, spring sliders and 1" drop blocks out back. Djm 3" drop lowers up front with raceway uppers and 4banger springs.

275/60-15 out back w a 26x6 up front

Its bad when you dont remember ordering parts cause they always seem to be coming in. Got back from gym and there was a box...wtf is that? Didnt even remember ordering a billet grill

Well as far as rear tire fitment goes do you think those would fit on a stock suspension truck? 275/60-15s seem to be the most available size in 15".

yes it will fit as long as the backspacing is correct. on a 2nd gen you want 15x10 with 5.5" backspacing on a 2wd.

i started it over the weekend. only let it run for about a minute due to it not having any coolant in it. the 237/242 cam sounds tiny and the open longtubes are loud as hell. the snappiness of a carb is crazy. i'm not even sure what jets are in there yet. still tons of work to be done. rockers are still hitting inside of valve cover on the drivers side even after losing the baffle and grinding the little tabs down. i'll just have to grind some more i guess. talked to a custom carb builder and he said the 750 DP is a restrictor plate on my combo but it will have to work for now.
