First I want to say i'm a newbie and I love the SS website.
Just picked up a deuce. Never thought about one until I saw it on Craigslist. It is a turbo diesel whistler (sounds awesome), 12,800 miles, extremely clean, and is a joy to drive (over 200 miles so far and have only had it for 6 days.) Anyway it came with a set of front deuce springs, 4 brand new tires Michelin X 395/85 R20 XZL mounted on what I am told are Combat rims. I was wondering if I bob this can I keep the axle in its stock location? Will the tire rub on the gas tank? Will it look to short? Should I set the axle back some and have the driveshaft lengthened? I have a dropside bed so I don't need to center the wheels under a wheel well. Do I need to put any blocks under the leaf springs or can I use them just as they are? Will it look even to the front this way? Thanks for any info. advice, and suggestions. Joe
