    thought the '05 had a 5.25" BS'ing
    and the 1st gen had 4.50" BS'ing

    wouldn't that difference possibly cause some frame/UCA rub
    at full steering lock on the 1st gen ? :notsure:

    less of concern with a smaller, narrower tire ? :notsure:

    You can run it just can't go wider then stock size tires.

    Thanks for the quick reply, since my truck is a 4x4 would you leave the center caps off on the front to allow from the hubs?
