Spring sagging?
Or not centered front to back?
Which do you mean?
On a side note, you’re going to butcher up the fenders so you can stuff too big of tire under not enough lift? On a nice truck like that? I’d at least get some crap fenders and save the good ones...
Is that a Power Wagon in the background? Sweet!
And what brand are those wire steeelies with the Boggers on them?
Hadn't thought of a Spring sag but odd it would be on just one side. Something to look for. The Driver side fender is just closer to tire(meaning down more). There is a reason for as little lift as possible. I did make a 2 inch body lift and it is on. The truck will be a wood hauler. I'm making the complete bed up for it. I don't want to have it in the sky to lift pieces that high. I do need mud tires as duals or street type tires are useless. I have these tires as I just changed them out from the show truck. They have about 1/3 - 1/2 tread left as I put about 14,000 miles on them. The truck was no pristine gem when I started. Most would have scrapped the cab. I looks nice now for a reason. I started working on it in January and it will be a keeper. Wanted to hone my sheetmetal fab skills and this was a learning platform for future show builds. I had to basically remake the whole inner cowl as it was rusted through all the way across.

The fenders are not original as this was "rebuilt" once before by previous owner. I got it in the fall last year so I don't know the history. It does have a salvage title. They have some rust holes and I wouldn't even care to buy new ones. Stuff for these trucks are cheap in comparison what I normally deal with.
The rims came from my previous employer. They bought a 1976 3/4 ton camper special(2wd) and they had 33's on it. Rims are 10 inches wide. I don't know whether they were factory or aftermarket. No name on them. Had a buddy powdercoat them for me.
The truck you see in the background is my show truck. It is what they based the Power wagon on. It's a 1941 Dodge Military Weapons Carrier. I put a 1978 Chevy 1 ton chassis under it. Original frames were pretty weak along with the axles. I have a Ram Jet in it know. Here is a video of it to give you an idea on the build.
