spacer in to keep them from rubbing tho. Everything clears on my stock one ton. They run the drag link a little tiny bit at full lock but that’s it.

Thanks guys - I found those caps over on ebay a while back, they've grown on me. I replaced the sagging rear springs with HD springs, that reset its ride height, I think it's come together well.

Thank you! The other side isn’t as pretty( it has a mismatched door and the paint falling off) but it’s coming together quite nicely.

Think it’s a 4” lift
We pulled the axles and springs off a parts truck
After we broke two 10 bolts , we bought a parts truck for the 14 bolt axle and a few other parts

It rides rough , I know that .
And hardly anyone makes 15” tires anymore

The 16.5's used to be very common. But those 15's have got to be super duper rare.

I think it was opposite. 15's 5 lugs were very common from what i recall on many cars and trucks.

I meant as far as the 8-lug mag wheels go. 15's are nearly non-existent.

I wasn't aware you had to have the centers bored out on those hummer wheels. Thought they already fit for whatever reason. is it just the front axle that needs boring or both axles?
