The frame I have does not have any rear-rear leaf spring hangers (or overload pads), what width perches should I be aiming for? The 2wd and 4wd are different? And the cab and chassis are different from either of those?

The ford wheels have a larger hub diameter, correct? If thats the case, can I use a ford wheel on the front, at least for the sake of one spare?

Sorry for all of the questions, I am trying to do this on a really tight budget and when I get started I will need to at least have a roller fairly quickly due to space concerns.

Thanks for all of the help so far.
