A item to consider IF the fronts and rears are different sizes---a posi or traction lock rear vehicle will need the spare to be the same roll out as the normal rear because of the posi action----------

Currie lists redrilling 2 customer axles at $35

And----------for rodders who want to drive the country(non trailer queens) with big and littles or or more equal sized tires-----there are considerations in the build of what the trunk will be used for---things vying for the limited cubes are baggage, rumble seat, spare tire and what I don't like to see--a trunk mounted gas tank---however, a slime bottle is probably wiser choice than patch kit, spare inner tube, tire pump,hammer and tire irons that we used to carry-------oh, do you carry a jack that will lift your car safely?????????

Talk about the pot callin' the kettle black!! What a hoot!!

What DID I do with that street sgin?!?!?!......... HMmmm...

Kitty gotcha tongue?

well, I am surprised no one has commented about the traction lock rears------------


and the weeds deal was in my thread about velcro---------------


anyway---just settin here this evening waiting on call that grandson has arrived--he is late since Friday, they are going to induce labor tonight-----------

Planning on using the wheels for now, unless I win the lotto.

Great reading guys, I like all the input on and off the subject. I carry one of those 12vdc pumps and a plug kit in my regular truck and it has saved me more than once. Don't know why I didn't think of that for this application. Blowout the only thing to think about.. Thanks for the input.
Congrats to you and your family Jerry !

I asked the question because the back spacing is different on those than some of the other choices. Did they have spacers on them or is your track width wide enough for direct bolt on?

I hear ya on that lotto thing.....

I have the width, in fact with the spacers that are on there, its to wide by about and inch, tires won't go up inside the fenders without hitting them.

What size tires? front/rear. What is your rearend out of? width? It has wheel adapters on the rear, right? how thick are they? Are there spacers on the front, too?
Geez, that's a whole bunch of questions isn't it? LOL!
