Re: The Dakota Cadillac (68 K20 w/ Cummins)

I'm going to scout for axles with a tape measure in hand looking for 67"-69" WMS to match my Dodge front end of 67.5" (I think my stock rear is 63-65" but I'll measure before looking). The 17s I'm running right now have quite a bit of backspacing (they're off of a 2005 Dodge). Right now the tire rubs the inner wheel lip after about an inch of compression so something has to happen and I'm hoping for 2" of width additional on each side.

It's just hard to figure out the WMS of newer axles as everybody quotes the older 14bolt and I don't think they're the same width.
