Look around. People have posted about this a few times.
I moved my all of my perches to keep the wheel in the same place and I put a fuel cell in the bed.

x2 on the fuel cell, get rid of the saddle tanks they tend to leak and break when wheeling, ive seen a few crack and split down at the hammers not something you want happening when on the trail.....? on the springs though most people inboard them and yes most chevy spring pad width is 31.5-32.5" depending on the axle and year it came out of... what do you exactly plan on doing with this truck? if you plan on crawling it inboard them if its a mall crawler dont bother.. just my .02
