Re: Build update 2

But it looks dumb! I might try some spacers on the back just to make me feel better. I know it'll do nothing for the truck mechanically but it's just one of those things that gets on my nerves.

Stuff like that seems to.

If the rear axle were wider the hubs would be in the next lane.

I just want to get the tires even with the flares. Shouldn't take too much.

Rims with about 4" more offset should take care of that....

Yes I was thinking of that. I'll have to measure it.

Looks like I'll need 2". Done some research and apparently there is more to this than I thought. This truck is mainly going to be used for heavy duty towing, and I'm not convinced that even 2" spacers would be safe. Lots of chinesium junk out there, hard to find anything quality.

I (personally) wouldn't want to see any spacers on a dedicated tow rig.

I mean, form over function does not belong on the highway hauling heavy.

It is a disease that you get from a tick bite.
You become allergic to Alpha-Gal

It will make you violently ill if you eat mammalian flesh.

You're still ok with fish or feathered therapods.

I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't eat fish and shellfish. Shrimp is my favorite food. I'd eat a 5 gallon bucket of it if I could.

You can eat fish and birds.
You just can't eat anything with fur and breasts. (Mammalian!)
