what needs to happen in order to fit 22" big rigs on the front? i have a ride tech cool ride kit with belltech spindles in front and i heard the brakes needed to get swapped to 3/4 ton rotors. will doing that suck the wheels in too far or just about right? how about the rear? it's not body dropped but plan is to do a 3 link for simplicity and more than likely bag over axle for capacity/strength reasons. my question is how much do i narrow out of the axle tubes if i were to run stock inners and leave the stock frame width alone? i'm not looking for a precise measurement, just a ballpark to withing an inch on either side. i'm still in research and planning mode. won't likely start the project until spring. thanks in advance!

this truck has all 3/4 ton suspension bolted up on it......then hebolted some 01+ front dually hubs to his 3/4 ton stuff.....it was good for 1 inch narrower than a stock dually up front.....he didnt wanna extend the control arms which you will have to doif you swap to 3/4 ton stuff.....it will be to narrow and wheels will hit frame if you dont.....out back this truck has a stock SRW 2500 rear outta a 98 model....you will either loose your inner fender wells and run a shorter rear or run stock inner fenders and a stock axle and widen your outter fenders....i can personally work with metal alot faster than fiberglass so we choose the shorter rear end

What's the difference between the 3/4 and one ton control arms? I'm kind of leaning toward michigan metalworks gear up front because of the quality and it's a known. Simple process of r&r. If that's the case I may be putting all my ride tech front gear up for sale. It's barely used. Like less than 5k miles
