Tucked 5"s up front and i stuffed 225/65s out back. I have 1/4th of a inch between the tire and the spring plate. i still have a little more work to get done, but the stance is final.

Thats stuffin meats out back for sure. I cant believe you got them on there. Did you have to use the scissor jack to get them on?

I doubled checked....they are 205/65's, I had these tires for so long i forgot what they were.
I tucked the tire on with the axle un bolted from the spring plate. Then slid it all in place and bolted it all together.
Im thinking of getting 4.5" brms up front with smart car tires, and 5" brms in the back.

Nick- I think it looks killer on the stock rims. No need for BRMs. Get yourself some hubcaps, and roll that biatch! Nice work bro. |

Well its about 95% done. I just need to bleed the brakes, and hopefully FIX instead of replace my shift rod.
When i pulled out the OG beam the shift rod was frozen to the front shift coupler on both ends, so i cut out the front half to remove the beam.
We welded it back it but it must be off 1/4" because i have every gear but 2nd 3rd and 4th. Im going to cut, turn and re-weld today and hopefully i will fix it, and dont have to replace it.
