Holy hackasaurus! Why so much? Get the wheelwells from summit for a tubbed car should give u the well your looking for.

 

[desertrat67]

You gotta hack to make 44s fit with 4" of lift.

 

[JB7YO]

it looks much worse than it will when it's finished - but as Desertrat67 put it - low lift & keeping center of gravity low means serious body mods! but it's gonna look soooo damn good when I'm done! I'm fabbing custom wheel wells so They'll really fit into the body lines - it'll look cool.

 

[99GmcClassic]

Well a 4" explains it all.

 

[JB7YO]

Actually i'm going with about 7.5" of total suspension lift - 6" front and rear springs with 2" blocks in rear and 1" zero rates in front - should give plenty of flex and fun

It's kinda funny how 41's under a sub don't look that big anymore....

Gorgeous truck by the way.

 

[desertrat67]

Are those the 14.25R20s used on the M35A100000 deuce and a half?

"Are those the 14.25R20s used on the M35A100000 deuce and a half?"

Not sure - i'll look tommorrow - and yes - they really don't look that big - especially in the pic. it's the 20" rims that make them look small i think

 

[Clod_King]

Yeah I totally agree. The rims throw me for a loop...

I tried looking before, but those military tires only fit a 20" rim correct? nothing smaller?

 

[desertrat67]

There are some that fit 16 inch wheels. Only 38 inch tall tires though.
