Why not find a set of 6.75" wide rims with safety beads?
Remember Baker's troubles with stupid wide 16.5" wheels and narrow military tires?

How are you doing your 52" springs?

Nice parts.
Moving front hanger in front of body mount and re locating rear hanger and using 7.25" shackle. There's is a very well done write up I am basically following

Yeah, I don't know that the longer shackle, and mount moving is necessary.
I would try without moving the mount first.

How is yours done?
My front body mounts were swapped side for side (all three pieces still riveted to each other).
It originally had stock shackles, in the stock location.
I switched to a set of ORD FUSH's, so I moved them ahead, and ran a longer shackle.
I didn't notice any difference.

Good to know
I already have the new shackle mount. Basically diy4x's version of the ORD FUSH I could always just mount them in stock location and see what the shackle angle does with stocks and the 7.25s
7.25" is a LONG shackle.
