I might give it a try someday. It would be nice to have the fronts and backs stick out equal, instead of looking like the old chevys. haha

I may be wrong but I dont think you can run very wide spacers on the rear axle to even out the tires, Because I was going to but the bolt are not long enough on stock rims I know because i measured mine. But aftermarket wheels maybe different.
And IF you do figure out a way to get the rear tires to stick out equally. be sure to lemme know.
And if ya will measure the distance from the ground to the highest point on your front fender.. lmao just curiouse bc i have the 3" Bl and and 3.5" spindles and i wanna see the diffenre with your coil spacers.
Thanks! sorry for all the questions.

You would have to buy the bolt on spacers with the pressed in studs, or buy longer studs for the rear hub. I just measured mine and with 285's I'm at 42.5"
