Welsh907's winter build

I think you can only narrow 1.5" per side. 3" total on rhat setup
And would need flaring just bagged,alot im sure with only 3" of narrow. Then your boddied, so whatever does lay bagged. Add 3/4" per side for you being bodied 3in
Change setups out back,everything inside framerail. It will work

It's a driver. Not a show truck. Truck drove around anchorage all year for two years with no inner fenders. Seriously, look at this shit.

As of 10:13 pm, which coincidentally is my bday. October (10) 13th. My truck officially picked itself up from layed out to full lift and back down again. I literally stood up and said, "fuck you science" and walked out to go home.
Best night ever.
 
i know you said in your message that you have stock bedsides, but either those have been pulled or the wheels have done it. I can tell from those pictures that they aren"t straight like from the factory.

this is straight

i think it may be his silly rattle can job from his secret admirer thats making it look like that. i could be wrong though
 
He said he's stock axle and bodied 3" and clears stock bedsides. That's very unbelievable to me.
That's why I see these pictures and see the small flare amount.

With 255/30r24 on +38 offset 24x9 I could believe barely clearing with slightly flared (almost unnoticeable) on just a bagged truck. You body the truck 3", you loose almost .75" per side on the same size wheel.

I'm just trying to help the guy out, because with the things he wants, his math is off and will spend a ton of time and money to get something that's close but just not enough
 
I was talking to cody Eastman yesterday about this. I think I ended up pulling my bedside some when I had all the bracing and floor out.
On another note, yesterday I drove the truck down the way to this old air port and aired it down to about 1/4 off the ground and drove it at about 45 mph and made quick left to right batting motions while doing so. Got the truck to the shop and racked to run full air line. Looked into the wheel wells and there's no dirt or scrub marks on the bedside so :shrug:
Think I have these wheels sold as well.
 
Well think about what I sent you in the pm, because Eastman talked to me for his wheels before doing his.

Pics between mine and a factory silverado at the shop. Doesn't look flared to me... But I could be wrong.
