I had buff the Caliper sides about a millimetre and worked out great.
I loved the way it turned out, the guy I talked too said would deffinetly work so I tried it, worked out for the best.

That is a great looking truck man and the tires really set it off. I love fabrication projects.

Default ok

if you need help what size strut spacer are you installing??? and what type(under or over spring).... and what is the spec of your 15'' rim you are using ex:15x8 0 offset would be the perfect fit... give us the spec so we can calculate if you do need wheels spacers and how thick....

i regret my 16'' now that i know 15'' can fit our truck...ALOT CHEEPER!!!for same size!!!!
