running a dodge 60F want to order wheels from work today, but I don't know how much backspacing I can get away with before I hit the springs or anything else? anyone want to help a brotha out :D I am running waggy springs on the stock D60 perches?? I know there are a handful of guys running the same thing??

EDIT-OH yeah 17x10 and 12.50 rubber

I have10" wide wheels with 3.5" bs 38.5 x 14.5" sx's on a 65" wms to wms d60. I don't hit my waggy springs at all.

ya I bet 4" wouldn't rub.

Why'd you move yer spring perches out Harkinoff? Stock Scout was 31 and full width chebby was 31. What front axle are ya running?

Quoted by SlipsCombWhat front axle are ya running?
I believe he also said he was running Chevy springs as well.

I did some checking on my rubbing problem, the drag link was out of adjustment... duh... that explains the rubbing one direction only, that and steering stop gone again.. 4 1/2 " backspacing don't rub

On a side note - what are you using for steering stops? Just regualr bolts. I seem to be destroying mine as well. I was under mine this week and noticed one was missing....
