It actually got into the mid 40s today so I hopped on the back of the motorcycle and took it for a spin. That made my lunch break awesome!

So I think I need to get a different set of wheels from the ones that I have sitting in my garage if I'm going to get a 6" lift.

I have the raceline raptor wheels with a backspacing of 6 but the 6" lift kits all seem to require 4min and 5max.

So now my dilema is 4" lift which should be fine with the current wheels I have or look for different wheels that have the 5" backspacing.

I'm leaning towards 4" lift because I really like the look of the wheels. And I think I may end up having more issues with driveline and other areas if I go to 6".

Decisions, decisions!!

Morning Gerry. I'm not sure what to do yet either, but I'll figure it out soon enough. The money will burn a hole in my pocket if I don't.

It's 50ish here so I managed to putter around on the '71 a bit. I'm almost ready to start cutting out the floors and cab supports.

Howdy everybody, Gerry good morning. You try and stay warm yourself. I'll try capturing some of the nice 70*F and send it your way.
