    I hope that is wheel to wheel not WMS to WMS otherwise this is a +10 kit not a +3.5. haha

    It should be 72" but just curious how close to 72" it is.

    I measured from the outside of each tire, side wall to side wall it's 85", not really sure why I would measure it any other way. :notsure: the blue truck is 98" wide if that puts things in perspective.

    getting WMS gives the ability to calculate based on rim backspace, rim width and tire size what the track width on any truck, so going from outside brake to outside brake can be critical for those trying to stay on tighter trails

    COUGH trail limos COUGH

    It's just a tad wider than brake to brake though. haha

    You want from the flat surface the wheel studs are sticking out of.

    i can tell you after enough math this kit will be worthwhile for a rock bashing truck as well, though a +2 kit would be a little nice, the upgraded spindle is what really has me sold
    the solo kit being a lot wider than some were saying has me going, how would wheel it


    I live in a area that you have stupid trails, and as it I rub tree to tree :spy:

    Joel, were you ever able to figure out why the 35s were all over the firewall? You were asking me about it on IG a few days ago.
