Default CST 4" Spindle and 22" rims

I have an 03` Quad Cab 2wd. Currently I have CST 3" springs and aftermarket shackles on the back for a level 3" lift. I`m thinking of buying the upgrade of the 4" spindles from CST to give it a better stance. I know they state a 4.5" backspacing on a 17" rim. I have 22" rims with 6-6.5 backspacing. I`m wondering if the larger rim would clear the spindle/tire rub issues. I`m looking to run a 35" tire on a 22x10.

You can call CST directly and they'll answer your questions. From my understanding the wheel size doesn't matter, you just can't have backspacing less than 5". So your 22s wouldn't work with the spindle, as it will break the spindle. Thats just my understanding, just go to CST's website and call

Thanks, Looks like I would need a 2" spacer how far do the CST push the front wheels out? I heard that the Rough Country/Fabtech pushed 1" so I might look funny with 3" total..

I would call cat. But with that much backspacing I don't think it would look that bad
