Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good 4wd

That is correct.

The fronts are equal to a 5” BS on an 8.5” wheel, which is pretty close to perfect, maybe could use another 1/4”. CPP claims an additional 7/16” narrow on their spindles; we’ll see how it goes.

Rears are too much BS for an early rear, but should work with the late, wide rear. Optimal BS would be 5.5”, so 5.75” may cause inner fender rubbing at low ride heights. I’ll be running a 275/40 as opposed to the usual 295, which should afford a bit more clearance. Worst case, I install longer studs and run a 1/4” spacer, though I don’t think it will be an issue. Guess we’ll see on this one, too
