Trucky your truck is looking real good the thing was is I wanted to know why you did not try them on the truck before you bought the spacers.. that all I wanted to know if they would fit with out the spacers and the stock height dakota????? thats the reason I kept asking..

I want to post some picks of my truck but after being on the horse farm a week ago and these dam azz cold temps no good time to shine her up nice and pretty, the bad part is I am heading up to a mud bog easter weekend and that when they are talking about warm temps, any where near a mud bog event even parked in the feild my truck will be trashed Cya Slick

Slick they did not fit stock height. My stock setup is right up against the control arm, and with these new concave wheels, it just would not work without damaging the tire over time. They would go on, but no drivey drivey. Luckily you already had a lift.

Ok after many issues, they are on. The front fender DOES need trimmed with a hack saw, but it will be done sleek and still look good. There are 2" spacers on the REAR ONLY, the tires would not turn with them on the front, so now the stance looks...awesome. Wide rear narrow front...well, just look for yourself.

Yes, I know it needs a good cleaning. Also, please do not run my plates and come murder me. I am too lazy to edit *shrug*

If you went with a smaller tire do think they would work without the spacers?

They don't even need spacers, walmart was wrong. They are on the rear now just for looks. What is needed is a leveling kit and/or fender hacksawing.
