That's cool, Another guy on here got a pretty big tire under his.
It was like 12.5 or so with the right back spacing. It was R70 judge. Look up one of his old post. Looking good and a 4-speed too. GT. |

I would have run an automatic but I got such a good deal on a M22 Muncie I couldn't pass it up. What offset are you guys running with stock wheel wells?

Update, finally got the four link completed, New wiring harness is next. Also went with 275x15 BFGs. The fit dead center with 4" backspace Weld wheels.

It looks like the front end of your upper bars of the 4 link are higher than the rear at the axle. That will cause wheel hop on hard acceleration. Try to get the front of that upper bar lower than the rear of the bar.
