So the width of the axle from hub to hub was the same from atleast 48-56 but the fenders got wider in 53? I guess I learned my one new thing for the day. Time to shutdown.
Randy, like you said that is fine if you like the tiny tires up front.

I get a lot of inquires when people see it and they like how clean and stock it looks, check out my gallery. I used the sway bar and all. It's cheeper than all the rest of the installs and NO frame cuts to weekin the frame. If you have any questions let me know, I've probly got the answer on the install......the do's and don'ts. I'm in Fort Worth,Tx, and I'll be at Goodguys again this year with it.
