you could always mount the booster under the dash sideways on the passenger side.

well as some of you know wheel pros has stepped up and offered to make my billets (one off's ) for free. ive been having trouble with the backspacing in the rear. me and wheelpros want the biggest wheel/ lip we can get in there... since im not the best with wheel filament i asked for their help and they stepped up big time! they sent me a test wheel to mock up and make sure all is well, free of charge again!
the test wheel arrived friday and ive got it installed, everything seems to fit fine,and everything appears to be a go. centers have been cut ( so im told) so now they just have to hoop them and send em out :)

are the bedsides taller on a unibody? I didn't think you could fit 22s in the rear.

yeah they are, they will actually fit a 24..... you can fit 22s on a normal bed but not a 24 ( my ol 65 had 22s)

Got a tire size in mind yet? I imagine you are going with 22s for a nice tire size

its a tight fit but i have close to an inch, the pic makes it look closer for sure. there should be very little tire "bulge" so i'll be fine. once the truck lifts up an inch or so the room gets even bigger.

thinkin i'll run a 295/30 in the back
there's 2 big reasons im goin 22s...they're free and im having a tough time clearing them in the front so any bigger just makes it even harder!
