    Mine is opposite, narrow on the front and wide on the rear which pushes the bottom of the spindle as far away from the cab as possible. That is my trick to stuffing 37's.

    Any cutting necessary with LT and 35s + big glass? Similar to what the other guys do without a big lift?

    Lots of cutting necessary. You'll even have to cut the glass most likely.

    Only need to trim a little bit of my fiberglass to clear 37s. did I forget to mention that I moved my suspension forward 4 inches? That seemed to help just a little bit too...

    you'll probably end up having to tub a bit no matter what.

    Im glad i fit 35s before i did LT. I know for sure i'll never have an issue. Just had to cut the fiberglass.

    Anyone recommend a alinment shot in southern Orange County or Northern San Diego? The local shop I was going to try today didn't seam to have a clue how to align a LT kit

    Has anyone heard from Nate Batchelder? He ripped me off some time ago and he still owes me $400 from a LT kit i tried to buy from him.
