Now there are 2.5" spacers between them, and there is about 1" between the tires.

Updated picture with the 4" lift upfront, 2.5" spacers between the duals, and the 1.5" spacers moved up front for a little more aggressive stance.


It may not be the tallest, but it has its fair share of rubber out back

now thats a nice ass!!!
