Title: Front End Wideneing Qs
Post by: Rhinoman on July 01, 2004, 12:12:47 AM
I've read the article again but just want to confirm one point. When you do the front end widening do you only redrill the one mounting point?

Yes, that is correct. You move the rear mounting poing out pushing the wheel out and forward. My frame was bashed and bent so much from wheeling that I had to redrill one of the front holes but I had bent it BAD. The other side slid (unbent) right into place.

I did this mod to mine also and am loving it. ;D I now run 32x11.5 tires with lots of room left. Hmmm maybe it's time for some bigger rubber. ::)

Well I just noticed my 33s are rubbing a bit  :( Obviously didn't cut back the footwells far enough but I think if I did the throttle wouldn't go all the way down anyway. Time to get the drill out I think. This should give me room for longer driveshafts too  :) though if I recall the driveshafts point backwards a bit (maybe mine is bent too) so they might end of shorter if I move the wheel forward. How are your bushes holding up they must be pushed a bit out of shape?

I was worried about that when I did mine, but it does not bind them up like what you would think ;) There are also alot of guys in Mikes club that has run this set up for a long time with no problems. Drill Away 8)
