z your frame,pie cut your uppers, cut out the wheelwells, change your brake booster, and tub your firewall, put a big brake kit on, do this and you might have a chance..... and yea start lookin for a new motor and tranny cuz they aint gonna last long spinnin all that weight....if you dont like my answer dont ask

I GOT THE ENGINE COVERED....
89 ford 302 with built c6 tranny
as of right now i am looking for a universal wiring harness because im going to strip the entire truck and remove everything i can before i cut anything so after im done tubbing then i can run all my wires. i dont care if you were rude or not... just done have time for people who dont like big rims on small trucks......
big brake kit??? for a 6lug or should i just get toyota hub/spindle assembly with a toyota rearend and change over to 5 lug? i'm kinda wanting to stay with the 6 lug and keep it simple although i hav been seriously thinking of either a full frame or from the firewall back. the overall diameter of my rim/tire will be 28" so from the measuring i have done nothing will poke thru the hood or the top of the bed.

those are the only things that stick out in my mind, if your gonna run a smaller tire width wise run a smaller tire, put a stretch on it. do itttttttttttt

with that much of a offset you got a good chance on them tucking but im not giving you a definite answer

Based on the fact that Escalades are 7.5" wide with a +35 offset, I doubt those would tube being an inch or more wider.

ha tru. do it anyways and shorten your upper control arm so you can get nasty camber and shorten your rear end or swap it out with my year rear end.

Pm josh. He started to set his up with 22's and then decided to go with 24's. he can help you with what needs to be done and probably the brake set up too.

WHO IS JOSH? i just put my complete engine/tranny and complete wiring harness on craigslist (jacksonville, florida) so no i will have a clean state to cut up and remake into perfection... or as i like to call it....low as shit.....lol i do have a off topic ? though... how can i post a pic of my truck into my signature?

i have looked at 24's all around or even 22/24 but the smallest 24" tire is 29.6" tall... which would poke thru the hood and above the bed... i dont wanna do that... but if he has set his up for 22 already the i'd like to see what he has to say....
