Rig is looking great Brian! I like the amber turn signal lenses...and the LED bar will look great with em!

Thanks, thats seems like a great width. Bronco is dialed.

1.5 over......2 is for ballers.

Can I ask why you went 1.5 vs 2" over? I've done a mock up with 2" spacers, bfg 35s, and autofab stock width class; it seemed to tuck nicely.

When I originally built the front end, the intent was to make it Class 3 legal, which meant keeping it under +2/side. Wheel width/offset made up the other .5". End result was slightly over, but workable. Plus 2 is a great width for stock glass, as long as the wheel/tire set up supports it. The extra width of the Toyo's on 8.5 wide wheels might make it too close, but works well with +3 glass.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to be running the 35" bfgoodrich 35s on Alcoas 5 spokes which are 7.5" wide with 4.25BS. I would love to run the dynapro MT but I don't know if they will clear with +2.

Finished mounting the ram. Still need to plumb it and adjust the center. Waiting on a few parts to finish up...like a PS pump.

I'm odd. Haha! The odd part is the sleeve welded over the tube and weld bung. They're monsterous and....well...odd.

Got some cool steering parts today. Can't wait to get this thing running again.
