    Dude you "grinded" (looks like you used a hack saw or something) your UCA. Do you realize that it's only a matter of time before that breaks? You could be going down the road at highway speed and flip your truck when that thing breaks. Or BOTH of them. You need to have this thing towed to a shop, put the stock wheels back on it and replace those ASAP before you kill someone.

    I thought i saw small blocks but im on my phone so it doesnt look that great. But i agree with everyone else,get some tires that will fit without grinding your UCA's and get it towed to a shop and fixed

    OP - for your own safety, and for the love of god please do not drive this truck another inch until you get it into a shop that knows what they're doing and can repair all the damage you have done to your truck and make it safe again
