OnTheNewAxles.jpg 898 hits | 46.96 KB | Posted: 3/12/05 First time on the new axles. This should be real close to the final ride height. The axle centers are 21 inches off the ground.
AxleTire.jpg 879 hits | 54.59 KB | Posted: 1/16/05 This is about the final position for the tire. It'll take quite a bit of trimming to make this fit with a low lift (4-6 inches).
