    Yeah, here we are trying to make our 5lugs things that they are not. Cliff has convinced me to LSX swap mine instead of turbo. Ryan and I alone have lifted and lowered ours twice, in both directions.....:facepalm:

    Even though I now have a 6-lug, i still miss my first truck a little...but it will pass once the mods start coming. :cool:

    I say we all did a pretty good job making our 5-lugs look BAWS!!!!

    Anything with a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern.

    I know the bolt pattern. I was just concerned about the offset and backspacing. I've heard of people having to grind down their calipers.

    Not the calipers, the mount to the calipers, it's minor grinding. I had to grind with my cragar soft 8's at 3.5 BS. When someone says steels we tend to assume you are talking about steelies.

    Yeah that's exactly what I'm talking about. Something like Crager Soft 8's. I've heard some fit and others have trouble with the same wheel.

    Minor issues bro, unless you are scared of a little grinding.

    If he lets them go, check out San Diego gear and axle. That's where I ordered those gears from and they were more willing to ship them to Ohio. $100 for the gears, $25 to ship, cheaper than ECGS.

    vs*

    For him it would be via coil and shock combo to achieve more lift.
