Even with the correct backspace (7.25" on a 10" wide wheel), you're going to get into quite a bit of work.

Mine will get down on that sized tire of 30.96", infact, it'll even get down on a 31.22" tall tire (285/50/20).

I can't tell you much about the heater core/lines or the wire harnesses because mine have all been removed, but you will need to tub the ever loving crap out of the firewall, notch and fill the frame for the tie rods, notch and fill the frame or Aarms for clearance, use spindles, possibly cut/reposition the ball joints on the Aarms (depends on what you're using), I'd go for the hydroboost brake setup..... hah, I'm running a 7" dual diaphram with a low-vac camshaft- not smart. I have tons of photos, just email at Jody@sportruck.com .













GMC is for sale. $8500 or best offer.

Talk to mccustomize. I saw he put 24's on all corners or his ext cab fullsize. I believe he did all the work himself so he should be able to answer any questions you have. Good luck and post pics when you get some.

Modified AIM units I've had since 1999 or 2000 or so.

Yeah, had it for sale on the trailer at that show- or whatever it was. Hell I live 10minutes from the race track in Sealy.

It's still for sale. No takers.

Here is mine with a 275/45/20 which is 29.7" tall. With another inch of tire it would be close, but I think it would be possible to lay and still have the tire under the hood.
