They're a little more lenient here in Indiana with the tires sticking outside the fenders. Besides...it's a small town and we know almost everyone, including the city and county cops, so things should be OK.

Still waiting for that price to come down though.

no, those are perfect. remeber, the taller you go the wider you need to go to be safe...its always a compromise, but those are perfect axels for your rig. Cool...the only issue now is how much they'll take for the truck. I told them $700 was the most I would spend, so we'll see. The general manager...

That measurement was a little off because it was outside to outside. When I measured brake to brake, it was about a 4" difference overall. Still not as much as I thought though. We'll see if they get anyone to pay $1500 for it. Heck...at the worst I could sell a decent D60 rear and a decent D44 fron...

Just wondering because I measured outside of wheel to outside of wheel and the rear was the same as mine and the front was 2" wider overall on the F250. They're wanting $1500 for the truck...and it's a rusty POS. I told them $500. We'll see what happens.

We just had an old beater 79 F250 4x4 traded in here and I was wondering if you guys thought the axles would work on an S-10. Would it absolutely have to be narrowed or could I make them work?

The "picture" your body shop guy was probably referring to is a spectrometer. Most body shop guys say "camera" or "take a picture of it" because it's easier than knowing what a spectrometer is.

There's at least 3-4 different manufacturers that make the "Rockcrawler" style wheels. I have them, but if I were you I'd get the 397's also just to be different.

I believe most of the GM V8's are the same block, just different stroke, intake manifold, etc. I've always heard that you could put the intake manifold from the 5.3 trucks onto an LS1, and vice versa, or the 6.0 intake on a 5.3, swap the cranks, etc., etc. I may be wrong about the cranks, but I know...

I think most all of them are RWD also. I doubt the Ute and Crewman would do well in our Full-size pickup/SUV society. Try counting the number of Subara Baja's you see on the road. :?

Maybe you need to pick better lines to drive.

The frames always hang really low on our trucks. It's the price we pay for having decent headroom in the cab. I would drag mine regularly when I was wheeling in AZ.

I actually got my 30's (on stock wheels with no BL) to rub on the top of the wheel well with the wheels straight. Flying into a 2 ft deep hole that's 12'x12' at 40 mph will tend to flex out the front suspension a little.

AZS10Crew

I would do HJ's setup first. If you're still unsatisfied, then go bigger later on. And you'll already have the BL and flares, so you'll have room for bigger tires later on anyway.

AZS10Crew

My t-bars were cranked with the Rockcrawlers and 30's and still rubbed. I fixed it with a little BFH wheel well adjustment, but not everyone is comfortable with hitting their truck with an 8lb sledge.

When mine was still stock, I had 15x7 US Wheel Daytonas (Rockcrawlers) with 4.5" BS and 30x9.5 tires and rubbed on the bottom of the wheel well when turning and flexing.
