Re: Narrowing rearend
About $500.00 if you buy new axles.... $150-200 to narrow the housing and around $300 for a pair of axles

Re: Narrowing rearend
Look at "my sorta build thread" in my signature. I'm running 15x14's and 18.5's with a stock 12 bolt. They will fit but you have to have the right offset.

Re: Narrowing rearend
Your truck is really nice but the deep lip is almost as nice as that really wide rear tire

Re: Narrowing rearend
No doubt if you want the crazy deep look you need to narrow. Just throwing this out there.........
Take a hard look at your gears and if it's a posi. Sometimes this is when a guy needs to think 9" Ford. Granted, if you have a posi and the right gears, just narrowing it isn't too bad in cost. If those things are not what you want, sometimes it easier to find the 9" already narrowed with the right gears and a posi and just swap the brackets. I will be doing a 9" with coil overs on my truck down the road. Just a thought |

Re: Narrowing rearend
I agree the 9 inch is the best way to go if you can.

Re: Narrowing rearend
or you could cut a set of stock wheels and add some back space cheap

Re: Narrowing rearend
My favorite thing to look at on my truck is my 9in...
I have the bed cut up just to look at it. Chopped 2in on both sides.

Re: Narrowing rearend
I wish I would have thought about a 9" before I built up my 12 bolt. Heck, I'd still like to do it, but then I'd have to order new wheels too, so it would cost ~2k just for a cooler deeper dish look.
