    The 305's might hinder it a little. That's pretty damn wide. Hopefully you can get it together and let me know!

    Thanks man. Is 10" stroke about the limit with the solo kit? What leafs are you running? Any rear lift? My J59's will use 12" stroke if I can fit it.

    Still stock rear for now. I talked to bobby at solo, an 10" is about the max for that setup. I think it can get up to 12" of travel, maybe a little more.
