i have mighty max belltech 2 inch drop springs in the front and street taco four inch blocks in the back with middle leaf removed

 

Looks good!

 

not low or wide enough

























lol, that looks good!! what are your plans?

 

Narrow the back about two inches, four link, then lsx swap with a t56

 

Truck looks mean.

any mods to get the rear wheels to clear? Would the bed fit without cutting right now?

 

No mods bolted right on, I know I'm going to have to cut the bed due to it being lowered

 

Lsx swap and a t56 going to be one serious tire shredder .

 

since i came from foxbodies id be all in for a 347 stoker or a refreshed 302 bored to a 30 with a 70mm snail with a 4r70w behind it and a shortened 9 inch rear...*drool*

 

I think.......I LIKE!!

 

Mine will be a 4.8ls with ls1 intake, 5.3 heads, ls6 cam and valve train and oil pump, fbody front ass, 70mm snail pushing 18 to 20 lbs. Water to air intercooler, t56 with a welded and plated rearend

 

This means a lot coming from you

 

A 4.8ls will be lotta fun with bolt ons cammed and heads I have one in my gmc swb stock and that truck will get up and move for its size

 

so got the bed on with out cutting it but....... the lip of the bed is seating on the tires

so i have a few options i can do
1. trim the lip up to the next body line,
2. buy different wheels with a different back spacing
3. narrow the rearend or find a narrow rearend

anyone have any ideas?????
should i run a foxbody 8.8???

the last thing i want to do is change the outside of the truck, anything inside i can hide

 

Maybe get some lift shackles I'd hate to cut the bed in case u ever swap the wheels

 

yeah i dont want to cut the bed, well at less the outside, inside going to have to be cut a little for the notches and cross member

 

Don't ruin the bed by cutting it.

How much inner clearance do you have? Judging by the first pic, it looks like you are almost touching leaf springs/frame. Even if you narrowed the rear or got new wheels, it looks like you may hit either way.

 

Leafs are going bye bye. Im thinking about to buy weld rt-s and get a different back spacing. The fame has to be narrowed and notched all the way up to the bottom of the bed. Then the bed wheel wells are going to be widen to keep the stock look

 

Weld RTS are cool but pricey.

 

A narrower rear end would be nice, (provided the leafs & frame aren't there anymore) but the problem is I know there's nothing available other than custom which means big $.

Those meats will never squeeze between the fender lip and frame-leafs, and may rub the tire hump in the bed pretty good, on the inside by the frame, so as much as I hate to say it, for now you should probably toss that leaf back in and then you'll probably have enough between the fender and tire to drive it.

I'm with the other guys, I wouldn't cut up on the bed side. Tucking a meat like that inside the fender looks too sick, but is gonna take some work. What are your long term plans? 4 link?

You know, you could look into seeing if maybe someone could make a widebody fiberglass bedside, but I'm sure nobody does and once again, $$$

I do like that rear shot in your 1st post, I give you props on how far inward the tire and wheel sits, you came very close to making it out near the fender, but this is always the hardest area. What are the specs? 10" wheels? Those are some meats!

Bottom line is, you can run the setup right now, but not as low as you are.

 

Roll and flare the fenders.

That motor setup is going to be insane! I can't wait to see a completed build.
