The Cal tracs are on the outside of the hanger . These trucks have a bolt in front pivot like a Nissan . You have to weld a piece of 1/4 " plate in to fill the hole . The front hanger is set up for 3 " springs and the truck has 2 7/8 " . It is easier to put them outside . They build a 3" split mono for these trucks , but it really requires new front spring perch be welded in .

The rear fenders are wider and will give me 1 1/2" more tier room . I think they were originally off a courier ( so i was told ) , but could have been off a full sized truck . They are glass and lighter than the gray ones .
