How wide is yours from sidewall to sidewall? I'm trying to get a reference point here... I'm on tons (69") and 8" rims with weld on beadlocks, and 15.50 tires.

One of these times I get up there I need to check it out.
So you guys are saying it might be difficult to hit 78"-82" when I do mine?

Still working on the ranger, but here's what we were doing in Moab with the Tahoe.
Slowly but ever surely I'm making progress.... 3' forward...2' back, always tack, then check... then weld. Probably end cutting the inserts outta the links and shortening them up 1.5" to better center the tire, I have lotsa clearance out back and rub a lil up front.

It's still good progress, indeed. You're doing phenomenal work, man.

The latest....
The plate thats bolted on will have the tubes for the X-members welded to it. Look's like the NWF BBi and Dana 20 Tcase is only 2" longer then the NP241 in there.... gonna save the pennies up to throw it in there before I build the Xmembers.
