the spindles dont have any effect on the wheel size i can put 15 inch wheels on mine but i have 16's but you do have to have atleast 3 3/8 backspace stocks will not work without spacers and i personally dont like spacers

Okay I knew there was some sort of issues with them. Im running 15"s on my truck now and had to do a little grinding on the calipers and tie rod mounts. Ive been wanting to put some big wheels on my truck and been looking at some 5" spindles(i shouldnt have a problem with 26"s rubbin) hahaha

Go to Summit Racing.com, look up Daystar, and find the 2.5" spacer. Thats about the largest you can go without going all out. About $120

That's because 3's either way and it will not be level

Here's a pic of my 98 2wd with a 6.5 inch Fabtech lift running 315/75/r16's so's you get an idea of what a lifted 2wd looks like. I'll take and post some side views tomorrow. Its nice to pull up next to a stock 4x4 Ram and be just that much higher.
