Yea but I plan on having mine low. Spring under axle and then a one inch block.

I've only seen one that is that low with 255 70s on a 15x8, but he doesn't know his backspacing.

So with 4 inches a 255 70 should be fine then I'm guessing.

I'm going gbody because of the track width and the easy option of drop springs and spindles.

The crown vic is too wide to go low. And when I say low this truck is doing to be low.

So back to the question, I know when I go to disks yes I need a proportion valve but what about for right now.

So far Ive only found one guy running that tire on a lowered truck but he doesnt know his backspacing. My plan will be to go spring under axle for the back an...

When I ground the temp wire the guage doesnt move, But I also put it on the hot side of the coil and it swept.

I havent fooled with the gas guage yet.

how to trouble shoot my guages

Alright guys here's the scoop. When I first got my truck the gas and temp guage didn't work. The guy I bought it from said its the regulator behind the dash so I replaced that. Now the gas gauge kinda works, its reading way off. But the temp guage isn't working still. I replaced the sensor on the in...

make sure you take a boat load of pictures. I need to know what the differences will be between doing the jag clip on a straight axle truck compared to our twin I beams.

Ill be on the prowl for a clip for my 66. Are you going to lower it more with springs or anything or just run the clip?

ill pop a valve cover off, but I dont think it has adjustable rockers.

When im all said and done with everything I plan on re cu...
