Yes, thanks and I agree. I actually was thinking of going a little wider on the rear. I took measurements and confirmed I could have gotten about an inch more by narrowing the inboard wheel hoop. I was in the process of doing that when I switched direction and purchased the 2015 platinum instead. I ended up selling this 2005.

I did narrow the rear end on my 02 Silverado 6 inches in order to fit the wider and deeper dish Intros without having to do any other body or bed modifications.

Don’t do keys they ride like crap! DJM arms do not have provision for joust stops and other issues. If I had to do it over again here is how I would do it.

Also might as well run 2/4” drop. The 2/3 still has a rake.

2” spindles
3-4” springs
Relocate sway bar with DJM end links
Shocks front and rear
Adjustable Panhard
Shock extenders
Free travel

OK we are installing my kit now....Anyone else with the beltech kit and spindles feel like you have to cut the ball joint thread a bit much? By time I cut mine and tighten the nut on the upper ball joint I doubt I will be able to see any thread protruding at all. Just worries me a bit
