Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | Yep, front tread width will be the biggest problem, and one without a good looking solution. I suppose you could raise the cab and fenders up so high that the wheels clear the fender lip, but they will still be outside the fenders.
Narrowing the front axle is not a good solution, because the frame would have to be narrowed too.
All that said, I am reasonably sure it could be done, but to me sounds like lots and lots of work, and/or an ugly truck in the end.
