Check out this from Foose... its almost exactly what I have going on.

Why did you go with 11” wheels? Wouldn’t 10” be plenty with a bit of room to spare?

These tires are actually happiest on an even wider wheel for racing purposes.

Mocked these up on my about 4/6 drop. Tire did rub on the fender so I had to trim it up a bit

What do you mean trim it up a bit? What width wheels? What offset? They look awesome.

Alright I am bringing this back to life. I had to massage my leafs and I did the bedside stretch to make it all work. It was well worth it... I LOVE the way it looks.

Looks dam good, how much did you stretch the wheel well and how much did it move it? Id imagine go too extreme with it and id worry about bedside buckle or paint issue.
on a random side note, you have any left over install clips from your grille inserts sitting around by chance..? Random i know but i need some

That truck looks soooooo damn good! Great job!

Also, what do you mean "massage" the springs?

I laid them on a bench, busted out the oil, and worked out all the knots and kinks. My hands were sore after 20 minutes or so but it was worth it!

Actually, I took a grinder to them and made some more space. Similar to what Foose did with the same combo.

I have 315's on a 15x10 out back and have to space my tires out with a washer thickness each side. I'd like to do this to my springs so it isn't an issue.

Are you lowered 4/6? Mine is 3/5 right now (shackles and hangers) and I hate it. I need to find some stock shackles so I can do the flip kit in the rear.
