LOOKS PEEERFECT. I think if you go to a 2 inch, thats only an inch per side and your tires will rub on that ledge behind the dog legs.

It'll clear w/stock wheels. That's my setup.

With stock rims, you'd have to widen the beam for that to happen. Stock width beam on my '67 and my 5 spokes do that. A friend and I are looking into building a 2 inch narrowed beam for my bus.
