And boy is it wonderful! I used it last weekend to move a pallet of wheels across the shop. The Big 60" will barely get the wheels off that truck off the ground. It doesn't even get close on my Expedition.

One of the drawbacks to a really flexy suspension.

I just use a scissor jack and an electric impact for the frame.

[QUOTE=TheBigRedOne;2389679]WTF? No, get out now.

This truck that I bought rides on modified Doetsch 3.5 inch spindles. The modification made to them has no bearing on wheel size or dimensions. I clear a 33x12.5, 16" 5x5.5 wheel with 4.5 in backspacing with very minor rub at full lock.

You don't have to have 17 inch wheels.

wow no need to get so upset i just know from when i was looking around i was always told 17 inch wheels and stock backspacing. i am so sorry i passed on a little missleading info... please dont tell jesus

Unless you have a locker, you have 2wd also.

Locked 2WD > Failxfour. All day long.
