Bought the wheels(crager soft 8 17x9 with 3.5" BS) for $200 with davez offroad beadlocks and hardware. I have to buy new hardware though, the ones I got are too short.

I hope it sits lower.

GrenadedToy · April 13, 2009, 03:15:46 PM

TheCookieMonster · April 15, 2009, 11:15:28 PM

looks sick man

.. your rear shackle angle looks pretty crazy tho

.. you might want to mount the rear hanger on the back of the frame by the way the picture looks

Yeah I know I realized that when I set weight on the axle. Ill have to re-extend my frame rails. The shackle hanger won't go back any farther.

SWEEEEEET

grant526 · April 16, 2009, 10:22:06 AM

You can mount the shackle to a vertically oriented hanger on the back of the frame. That would extend you past the frame, while keeping you from having to re-extend it.

GrenadedToy · April 16, 2009, 12:31:00 PM

I forgot about that way...thanks

grant526 · April 16, 2009, 01:24:03 PM

No Problem!! That would actually look pretty trick on this truck! Something out of the ordinary, for a truck that's out of the ordinary.

89sastoyo · April 16, 2009, 03:32:45 PM

if you havent cut them off yet i would suggest moving the fronts forwards a couple inches... It will put your tire in the center of the fenderwell giving it a more fit look also change your shackle angle but thats just my
