I'm installing a mono leaf spring set next week that drops the rear 5" but I noticed the tires seem to stick out past the rear fender. Does anyone have experience with this or a solution? http://imgur.com/WlCUnAPhttp://imgur.com/tNZogkiMy tire size is 265/60R15

It's hillbilly but it worked and didn't crease. I have a 6" drop and 18" wheels on a 65 c10 long bed. Good luck to ya.
I can explain it to you, I can't understand it for you.

I run 18x10 with 5.5 back spacing. Like reverse deep dish wheels. It's an offset. You may need different wheels.

Since I really don't like the look of widened fenders I would be looking for wheels that fit within the fenders, or get custom ones made. What wheels are on the truck? | | |
