Yes, first I need to pull the outer wheel off and see just how small I can make it and still clear the factory studs.

I'll probably pull them down this weekend and see what I'm working with...then contact you about what I'd like and what is possible.

Thanks again for the info.

could you give me a price on a set of 1.5 inch , or a 2.0 inch set ? I have a 2002 f250 with the 20 inch harley wheels and the front rub some while turning all the way either way. (rubbing on the leaf springs) or maybe we could trade out something? i have a couple of waterjets, (standard and 5 axis) ......
