Your build is amazing, your truck is coming along great. Looking at your Lincoln 9" at first glance it looked longer than the chevy rearend to me especially seeing where your shocks are mounted.
But then I read you say its shorter and your tires right at stock spacing..
Since you have the backspace you want on your rim, could you run a wider, lower tire instead of a spacer? Im just throwing something outhere. I had to get my 10 1/2" ralleys altered so I would have a 4 1/2" backspace so they would fit under without cutting tubbing.
