Before someone has to ask. They are 275-60-15 on ten inch torque thrust wheels.

and now they seem they will actually fit


Ricky did you get an approximate backspace to figure your rear axle width?



No but we can play with it tomorrow am

You know what would be really great? I find a rear already narrowed that's a perfect fit for Cha Ching Cheapo $ .....WAKE UP Ricky, stop dreaming!

I am going to post in either Questions and Answers or Unlawful Race about the spring re-locator box placement.

this one "A"
trim to the contour of the existing frame rail.

spring holes are just an approximation only.

they stated the Mopar fan shroud has a 16" fan opening so I ordered a 15.25" fan. I think I can fit a bigger fan in there, what do you think?
It's good for mock up anyway.

The Hayden fan clutch didn't come with a bushing so its doesn't center correctly. Still good for Mock Up.
My knuckle is still sore

Radiator and friends installed (Mock-up) without the fan, I didn't think it necessary to install during measurements. It looks like a 18" fan will work just fine. 1/2"- 9/16" between the fan clutch fins and the radiator core. Tight but usable I think.
