Yea thought about that to but if I can get the spacer just right it will fit between the two tires. Right now the slider only hangs down a inch below the tread

Not a fan of the dually van, especially on a small van. One wide tire looks way better IMO. :handgestures-thumbdown:

What era 3500 spindles and hubs did you use? What modifications to the front suspension did it take to get it to work? The 14 bolt is a spectacular thing, other than its 500+ pounds of weight.
