sawzall?
Tire Size
33-44
My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
i have full width axles on my truck.


with 44 inch tires half a front tire hangs off a full size car hauler. they are wide.

the heavier models have a narrower rear axle track width then front.

you can get a cab nd chassis style 14 bolt to get a bit narrower... but they are burly.

its tough to say with the older trucks because they are smaller.....

i had bulged bedsides for quite some time because my off road tires were fat bastards....


my dana 60 with 4 in bs 8 inch wheels on a 33 radial is narrower in overall width then my explorer 8.8 with 10 in wide 4.5 back space wheels with a 35 14.5 bogger.... its just under an inch...but you can play with wheel offset to get to where it is sane.

the front......not so much. but out back depending on actual axle its livable.

lol, yea i now have the option of having a McNeil fiberglass bedside that's 1.5in wider on each side or one that's .5in narrower on each side, I'm thinking of the 1.5 wider to allow more room for up travel for the bigger jumps.
