How many times do you need to be told that the rear should sit higher than the front and I explained to you several different times as to why. What is it you don't understand?


The proper wheel spacing as posted here no less than a 1,000 times is a 3.75-4.00" max for BS on a 15x8" wheel up to a 35x12:50 tire.


What you were asking about wheels I think was about the BS. At 3" of lift I ran a 31x10:50 then a 33x12:50x15" tire both on a Cragar Soft Eight wheel with 3.75" of BS. Zero issues of any kind but I am trimmed and the tires hit nothing on the frame or CA's (stock).

Your tires aren't centered in the wheel wells. Do you have stock control arms?

yeah you need longer adjustable ones before tires. I don't know a good brand never looked into them much.

should only be the fronts. Can't really do anything to the backs to center them or make them off center

you can get sway bar disconnects if you want to, I made my own. And an adjustable track bar is definitely something you should get.
