they will fit but it depends on how low you want to go..you need drop spinds also and your headlight buckets will be in the way if you want to be real low.. and you have to run a spacer or a wide axle trans in the rear.. |

Yes they will fit, you might need to space the rears out depending on the offset of the wheel and how low your dropping it
dropped spindles in the front for sure;) |

| I have 7.5x17s on mine with a 6" beam, ended up putting 1" spacers on it. That being said, go with a 4" beam if you have a high offset. (35 or higher). As for the headlight buckets, I took a rubber mallet and 'modified' mine a little. It was really not too much banging to get them pushed in enough to stop the rubbing. |
