Do you have LCA brackets? Shorten the LCAs to kit more center. That is what I have to do.

Yes I do but it was like that before and we jigged the rear end in place when we welded the relocation brackets in, and the arms hooked right back up. Its always been like that, even when the rear suspension was stock.

Bringing this thread back to life....what is the widest you can go with a M/T DR without having to cut the bumpstops?

i had a 315/35/17 bfg drag radial wihout touching the bumpstops. but i had to always jack the rear up by the rear end.

If you wanted a dr on a 15'' rim your go with a 275/50/15 or a 275/60/15

The oval is where you need to hammer a LOT. I tried an air hammer, which did NOTHING. I used a normal hand hammer, then i brought out my big sledgehammer to finish it off.

I used metal snippers to cut the rear fender where it says "TRIM"
i had to do the same to clear the goodyear 325/50R15 i added a spacer cuz on turns the tires will rub. they still do a little bit but i blam it on the spool

I had to cut mine out like that too. I run a 275 60 15 but my 12 bolt is shortened 2.5 inches on each side and I run a 15x10 with 5.5 BS.
Double adjustable LCAs work like a charm. I fit a 28 inch tire without cutting or trimming the wheelwell or bumper cover.

Just cut the bump stops off if you have to.
