I'm running 56's with decent success. but it's fully custom mounts

front hangers moved forward/ plated
adjustable UBE's on the axle
shackles mounted off the rear bumper with 3/8's mounts

biggest problem I'm having is hitting the shackles on EVERYTHING. you could probably use 63's if you moved the front hangers forward far enough..
I'm happy with these. no hop wrap or bastard packing.

Are you using the stock front hangers?
