[QUOTE=original-71;6703014]the front yes, the rear has a 1" block also.

Here is a post I did when I had issues installing mine. It will raise the rear axle so the back end sits lower.

the rear is flush with a 4.5 backspace but its not in line with the front wheels either right now, plus i plan to lower it more and that cant be done the way it sits now.

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop

decided the 22's were not for me on my truck so i sold them. first didnt drive the same IMO. second was not happy with the lip up front, and third i couldnt bring myself to cut her up with the c-notch and rear end, maybe if i were to build one it would be different but was a very hard decision for me in the end. went back to 20's same wheel Intro Ralley did a 20 X 8.5 with a 5" backspace up front and 20 X 10 with a 5.25" in rear sits pretty flush dont plan on bags anymore either just want to drive and enjoy it. luckly i didnt loose any money on the deal either just alot of time away from driving it, so i got bored and picked up a new daily driver in the mean time. this is the most recent picture i have of it.

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop

IMO opinion 20s look more proportioned on these trucks. It's a style everyone likes and not over the top. Still one of my favorite trucks and one of my favorite wheels. Looks awesome as always

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop

I've always liked 20's on these trucks also, or 20's on the front and 22's on the rear.

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop

it looked sick with the 22's, should have just ordered the back two without that big of a lip so you wouldnt have to have cut the rear end
