Default My fattys and skinnys all done






I just finished rolling the rear fender lips, installed new studs all around, installed new BMR adj. lca's, centered axels, adjusted pinion angle. It turned out really good, no rubbing at all on a hard launch!

Ok guys I will try and cover everything in one shot. Rims are prostars. Rears are 15x10 with 7.5" back spacing. fronts are 15x3.5 with 1.75" back spacing. The tires are MT 325-50/15 and MT 1573 sportsmans. I used a 5/16" spacer on front wheels, so they just bolted on up with out grinding of calipers. If you choose to use spacers up front, you will "need" longer studs! On the rears a whole lot of caliper grinding is required. Next BFH mod (Big friggin hammer) hitting inner wheel well on the front of wheel opening. You will see where when u try putting them on. Next I removed my bumpstops, and then took BFH to mounting place and beat in a little. Then adj. lca's so the wheels can be centered. Then I rolled my fender lips, and then my pinion angle needed to be corrected. And replaced wheels studs with some ARP's. Whew! I think that just about covers everything. Makes me tired just thinking about.
