I agree about the spacing. I still need to buy a newer tie rod and ends for safety. I even showed him the graphic in the Summit catalog showing how to determine backspacing etc. Thx ProStreeter!

Maybe a 1/4" or 3/8th" should move it away enough.
How is the little one doing?
I'll run it by Woody (The Mechanic). Glad to be back even if it's only part-time. The world has gone into fast-forward for me and I just don't have the time to post like I used to.

Lil Cooper is doing great. Took him to the doctor for a checkup today. He's 17.5lbs at 5 months old! He's gonna be a big guy like his old man!

Thx E.G.!
