I think the question, rather than "really?" should be, "Okay, if you are not 'tubbed', what tire sizes
fit under there with Boss 338's?"

As you can see from what I'm running, 275/45's don't fit with the original Boss 338
10 x 20's without rubbing on the bed side of the wheel well. Thus, the spacer.

But Randy may be running different size tires, his back spacing may be the "newer" Boss backspacing.
Or, he could be tubbed (which, I'm pretty sure he's not).

295/40's. I have sectioned and welded together the rear fender wells, however, I have not installed them yet (I need to do the bodywork and paint on them still).

Hahahaha!!! My mistake...... again!

If the wheel wells are not installed, and you slice the bed down, you can run 330/50's in there. Or almost whatever you want.

Re: Calling all fleetsides with 20's.....lets see em please

my question had nothing to do with "tubbing", I was simply in aww that he did not run a spacer.

My 71 with 1/4" spacers with extended lug nuts on the back to keep the tire from scrubbing the inner fender well.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
