Cut or narrow (photoshop?)

[shaun]

Would you cut and narrow and how would you do either. I want to narrow but know I will need to cut. So help guys. I want it to still look clean. I am thinking another 2" of lift and 40's and maybe 42's. Help me out guys. I am also bebating moving the axle back 2 to 3". I dont know yet.

you don't want to move the axle back if you plan on big tires with low lift... you'll need all the tire-to-firewall clearance you can get. If you cut/narrow a lot, the firewall will be the most significant obstacle.

What springs? I'd narrow and run it, see how it goes. You may well be fine. I wouldn't even consider moving the axle back. Farther forward = better approach angle and better firewall clearance. I hate to see people hurt their approach angle.

I do love the new approach angle w/ these 37's. Wonder what it would be lo\ike with 40's or 42" Irocks. Dont think narrowing it would work when I take it to cali in a month and a half

What springs do you have in the front? The center pin seems WAY offset to the front.

They Are 57's And The Center Pin Is Way Offset

What is the benefit of having it offset so far forward?

approach & firewall clearance is improved. making the steering work & clearing the fenders are the problem

they are ford 57 rear leaves the pin is offset to the frt like that to help axle wrap. they came that way

Thanks boz42. Approach angle is the biggest advantage. I lost a little steering to the left (i think this is my own fault going to fix this weekend) and fender clearence is the biggest issue.

Strip it, cage it, and throw 42's! That would be awesome, other than that I dont have any helpful suggestions, sorry.

I am thinking move the axle back 2.5" and cut the fenders some. 2" of lift and 42's. YeeHaw
