hey gang,

finishing my 3" FT lift I learned I need to upgrade my wheels to allow the rear sway bar links clear. After reading WoLs FAQ, I see he recommends not exceeding 4.75" BS. I ordered before I read this thinking that a 5" BS would be enough to clear the link. How critical is this? I figured an extra 1.25" would be fine to clear the links but now I'm second guessing myself. Can anyone here pipe in and let me know if I should cancel the order and go with a 4.50" BS??

Side info: wheels are crager soft 8s in 17x9 form 5" BS. there will be 37x12.5x17 goodyear MTs going on them. the lift again is the 3" FT lift ultimate.

 

You will have to use a wheel spacer or run a different wheel. I would try and stay with a 4.5 to 4.75 back spacing. I hope this helps.
