    Steering Stabilizers - Singles vs. Duals

    15" rims over 8 lug 10 bolt front and 14 bolt

    ok...so I'm in the process of gathering parts for my 14 FF and 8 lug hub swap. I'm looking at wheels now. I really don't want to buy new tires since mine are only a year old. Will a 15" rim fit over a 10 bolt 8 lug hub ? and how about the 14 bolt FF ?

    This is for the rear. I have ORD springs. 6” total lift. ORD custom 6” spring in front and 3” shackle flip and 3” customs ORD spring in rear. I still need to get a front driveshaft, but I will be using a local drive line shop to retube the front. Much less money that way. Sent from my iPhone...

    ORD custom rear springs? Opinions?

    IMO..for your situation I would run the tuff country rear springs. because you towing the ORD are not meant for that. with a loaded K5 and 700# on the hitch itll be too much.
