Hey guys,
Did some more trading and ended up with an 86 RC 4wd. Was a 360 but now has a 318-4v in it. A little rust through down low but the floors are solid. Interior is a little rough, pulled the armrests and swapped the pass. seat for the drivers. Then threw in an off color one for the passenger to use.
It has Turbines on it with 31s that have great tread.
Anyway the back hatch has been replaced and it sags low on the drivers side. It closes but its way out of line. Looks like the hinges have been replaced as well.
Are there any adjustments that I can make to help re-align it? It needs to go up.
Also, I have a set of 16s to go on it. What metric tire size would I need to match the 31s? Maybe wider but Id like to stick with a 31" tire diameter.
Here is a pic!

Newer Dodge is 5 on 5.5 pattern.
Your truck should be 5 on 4.5 pattern, so you would need to use a lug adapter. But depending on what year wheel you buy you may need a 1.5" spacer/adapter anyway. So you could still run the Dodge wheel.
The down side is once you buy the wheels, and then the adapter/spacers you could just buy an aftermarket 16" or larger wheel of your choosing with the correct pattern and backspace.

And I explained the hub hole needs to match. Didn't see where he said 94up wheels. The steel wheels the center can be made bigger with a torch or have a machine shop do it. The aluminum rims need the same done depending on which rim. 94-01
Hp 80 up 4wd is 5.5
