I have installed the front IFS from a 78 1/2 ton. It is about 7 incehs wider than the stock one. I am considering narrowing it 1.5" as Mobileortho has done with his 3600, but that still will not be near enough. I am also planning to lower the front end using drop spindles and springs to match the flipped rear (dropped 6"). I would like to know if there are soem factory 5 lug on 5.0" bolt circle wheels out there with LOTS of backspace. I have heard wheels from a late model Impala SS might work, but do not have any specs on them. I would like to have same wheels front and back so can rotate and have one spare. Don't really care what size, 15, 16 or 17".
Mobileortho - have seen some past posts from you with links to others that have done this swap. Any wheel advice ? | | |
