Things get alittle tricky when you change sizes so I give you some props Grant for being able to get the 18's and 19's flush. Also props to Big Steve for still having one of the sickest fitments in the states.

This was my old setup. The rear should be as good as the front once I tune my suspension to work with my new cut rear fenders.

I make my own mounts, so I just fabricate new ones if I need to adjust my lowest setting.
