I am considering buying the kit that moves your springs 3 inches inboard; on the inside of your frame rail. Im fairly certain this will allow my wheel to fit in my wheelwell. However, I do not want to sacrifice my rear swaybar to do this. My swaybar fits with the offset shackles. But i dont think it will fit if i completely move my springs.
When I measured for my wheels, I wanted a 9.5 rim. so I measured for that. I didn't consider that my tire would be wider than my rim. so thats where my problem came in. Yes, I measured my tread width and it is 10" but the side wall is wider. So I estimated it is 11".
How much trouble is it to modify my wheel lips?
I am ok with cutting my inner fenderwells. there is a guy here that can do that. So all i need is to get my wheels to tuck under there and the rest is not a problem. I can get a narrowed axle to fit with the inboard springs but like I said I want my sway bar. this weekend I put a B-body housing and axles under there and it moved it in 3/4" in on each side but that wasn't enough. It still lacked just a little bit. I can put an A-body housing under there and I think it will work but not w/o moving my springs
