Thank you........I will try this. Appreciate the help.

I have them as well. 50/50 here with stock front shocks & springs, and stock torque arm and no rear sway bar. I was cutting 1.46-1.48 60fts. That was with only the Comp shocks, lower control arms, panhard rod, and an airbag in the passenger side spring.

I used 15x4 with 26x4.5x15 ET Fronts, and 15x8.5 with 28x10.5x15 ET Drags. I did not have to do anything to make them fit. No spacers or grinding necessary. I actually am selling the fronts with tires. PM me if interested.

no grinding on the rears? I am coming at ya from Canada...the shipping cost would probably kill me, thanks anyway. What back-spacing did you run on the rears? Do you have a rear view pic, the tires did not stick out past the fenders did they?

Nope, no grinding at all. They stuck out a little but not nearly as much as everyone says. I ran a 15x8.5 with 5" backspacing. If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me. I don't want the thread to go off topic.
