The problem is the axil assembly is to wide (61" drum to drum) to run a wide tire and wheel combo. Anyone know of a GM vehical with a rear axil assembly that is narrower than the camaro with the same 10 bolt pig so I don't have to modify my drive shaft? | | |

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
