Not sure on the backspacing but will measure. The Wheel Tubs are stock. I bought the rims not even thinking about the backspacing. I know the guy asked me if I had Disc Brakes on the front and from there he got me my rims. When your talking about backspacing is that where the center of the rim sets with reference to the back or the front of the rim? Let me know and I will measure it for you.

The backspacing is 6 inches and the wheels are 15 by 6 on 6 and 8 inches wide.

Hope this helps.

Vernski,
No I didn't make them but now that I have a set I think I would make the next set. All you really have to do is mark the wholes where they go through the perch on the Diff and drill the wholes then purchase some longer U Bolts. From there you could probably put what ever size block you want in there.

blackmopar,
My Wife would agree with your statement. Everytime I tell her I am going to do just one more thing she gives me the wrinkled brow and evil eye stare. I just have 2 more (JUST ONE MORE THINGS TO DO BEFORE IM COMPLETELY DONE). RIGHT!!!

JR, The trucks looking good! About the stiffness in the back, it's got to be coming from the axle hitting the exhaust or the bump stops, since you didn't change the springs. I would keep your 3.08 axle in and chnge the exhaust to come out in front of the wheels. I think that is a good look on our trucks. Either that or Y the pipes back together, like factory, but with bigger tubing. Run a single back and over the side w/o the track bar and split it at the back.

A look that I have seen and like is to Y the exhaust under the side of the bed, then run two twin tip exhaust tips so it give a drag car kinda look.

sailed2japan,
Thanks for the advise.

Ive been talking with the guy thats going to do the exhaust for me. Looking at it I think I am going to go wide at the front and go down the outside of the frame rail tucking the pipes as high as I can. Then placing the Mufflers between the frame rail and the outside bed wall then back over the differential and strait out the back. When I get it done I will post some pictures.

Thanks for the compliment,
