[QUOTE=Hi-Po [/QUOTE]

^^^^^^^ Now that is a sexy rear end, im thinking that ive decided to go 3 inch narrowed each side and a 315/60R15 15x10 with 5.5 to 6.0" BS. And yes, fabricating a 9" doesnt seem the wisest. I'll probably have to cave and go with a full fab 9" from a well known company.... it will just drag out my build time and budget.

Hi-Po, any pics of how you cut out the inner wheel well in front of the tires? I'm about to do that this weekend. Mine is a fab9 from MWC shortened 3" each side also, with a 5-1/4" backspace wheel and 275/60 MT pro. That area doesn't seem even close to fitting. Wondering how much I can cut.
