No I did pull the brake calipers off the truck when I first got the tires mounted and put them on the truck. Wish I would have ordered 7" backspacing but they look really good. I will get some pics this week hopefully if my buddy gets the new brackets machined.

I've been wondering if a 315 would fit underneath mine so looking forward to seeing what it looks like.

Not sure if 315's would tuck on our trucks with stock suspension but they definitely fit back there.

How do you deal It drives me crazy. I'm going to throw the passenger overload back in and see if it levels out.

Small update. Not sure if you guys saw the thread I've been working on the last few weeks. I made some brackets that allow me to use the OBS rotor and brake caliper so I can finally fit my 15" cragars and 315/60 MT's. Came out really nice and the brackets seem to be holding up to any abuse I throw at it. Here is the thread if you want to check it out. There are some pics in there of the build.

So besides the new upgrades in the back of the truck, I haven't really done anything for a while. Today I started to wean my truck off of the corn juice and put pump back in the tank. I like to daily drive the truck but it was just getting so damn expensive on E85. I had to fill it up every week. So I put pump gas back in it and will start piecing together a methanol kit. I plan to run full meth with two M15 nozzles. So far I like the devils own nozzles and AN nozzle holders, braided AN line, and either the Snow or AEM controller. Still not sure on a tank and where I will mount everything. I was thinking about drilling and tapping the top snout of the holley intake for the two nozzles. That might look cool and be different.

I haven't been on the forms for most of the summer, but it looks like the truck is making some great progress.

Still running 10-13lbs range?

Yea I see about 12psi in second gear. Fuel system is still untouched. I can't seem to find an 04-07 fuel tank and I need to order another hotwire kit. Besides that I have everything I need to do the conversion. It will still be -10an feed and then split to two -8an lines into the back of the fuel rails. Then -6an return.

Do you need the tank or the bucket for the pumps?
