    Any way on confirming if I can run 2.5's in them?

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    Well the ID of the bucket is 3" wide x2.5" deep so as long as your tire will clear the 2.5" they should work just fine.

    Awesome... just PM me when all my goodies are ready and let me know when you would be able to spend the time to cab chop. I wanna see how many warranties I can void in the first year :) and how many BAMF products I can put on before I get negative gas mileage, lol

    X2 there is a lot of kits out there and only a few pictures. I want to see some :cool: also the different wheel and tire combos i know Alex's tire was close to the shock at full flex. Anyone running wheel spacers/less BS wheels to help clear the bigger tires form the shock body at full flex?

    What's his wheel at? I'm looking at Vin's wheels for my truck. Either 4.3 or 4.5 bs once I decide on 16s or 17s. I want 35's so that comes into play too I think. I think you said you can mount them at a different angle too so that you get a tiny bit more room, Right?

    I'm thinking it's 4.5" it's really all the tire the 4.5" BS would be the deepest with a 285+ tire. Full bump your good it's just flexing out the tire gets close to the frame. When designing the kit i tucked the shock as tight as possible without cutting the bed. You could get it a little closer if you want to drill a small hole in your bed to put the bolt on the back side of the shock mount that would help out about an inch. but most people don't want to drill a hole so we didn't do it that way but you have the option.

    So a 315 tire would be no good then? The only thing about drilling a hole in the bed that bothers me if it something sticks up through it I'll probably catch it on stuff I throw in the bed. How much are these again? Didn't see it in the first post and your site doesn't have them listed up there.

    Not without wheel spacers or a little BS. the hole would be on the side not the top and it would just be for a socket to get to the bolt. I had a link in the OP i don't know what happened to it I'll fix it.

    Damn. Maybe I'll just get 35s and see if I can eventually make it work down the road. Or I'll get 33's. Too many decisions to make :(. $80 for this is nice and cheap though :)

    Hmmm. I previously hadn't considered this because of the tire contact issues. I will be running 305s on 4.3" backspacing. If I drill the hole in the bed, you think it will work?
