LOL,

I thought maybe it was you, but I couldn't find it. I searched for 2 hours on 3 forums. When I first saw it, I didn't save the info. Not normal for me. I usually do. Thanks.

Slung my C&C 14 bolt under the 53 3800 DRW flatty yesterday with the stock u bolts and some temporary flat bar in place of the saddles. Man is it tight. LOL. Maybe 3/8" between the backing plates and the overload pack on top. I might have to put the axle on the ground and bleed the brakes before hanging it on the truck. Overload pack covers the bleeder. Now if I go to disc on the truck all around, Ill be fine as long as the caliper clears the springs, or as long as I can clock the caliper to where it clears. Bleeding would be the only issue with clocking I guess, but they could be pulled and bled with a block between the pads.

I did all of this to make sure it was possible and to make sure the 19.5's will work. I was afraid of spring clearance, but I mounted the inners, and then dual'ed it up to admire it. LOL. No issue there. Even found a set of lug nut adapter rings (stiffeners) on ebay yesterday for less that 40, shipped. Still need to augment my lug nut collection.

Just to be clear, the mounting order is: inner dual against drum, outer dual against inner, then clamp rings and lug nuts right? No other components involved? I just bought used wheels and no hardware with them.
