Kick *** choice. Post some pic's as soon as you get them on. Are your willwood brakes bigger or smaller than stock. Just wondering what kind of backspacing you asked for. I'll need to know when I order mine...

I have a Ford 8.8 Solid axle with Wilwood upgraded brakes. Clearance won't be an issue for me.

I called them last week to check on the status and they said they should be arriving around the 28th. I'll post pics when they come in.

The calipers are larger than stock, not sure about the calipers. I'm prepared to grind on the brakes for clearance if needed.

I asked for a rear backspacing of 1-3/4'' and a 6 inch rear spacing for the fronts.

I'm using these for a bigger tire/wheels combo.

Agreed. I'll be damned if I leave any money behind when I die... Chances are, I'll be a nice guy and pass on some debt to the moron that claims me.

My fronts are 6 inch backspacing, that's as big of a backspace as they offer. I still might need a small spacer but we'll see. I need that much of a backspace because I have wider fenders up front.

I wouldnt be seen standing near you even for all the cash you owe the forum members here you ****** thief.

you stole from a couple guys I know well. I will be a thorn in your threads just out of principle. scumbag.

just like a theiving loser to not only steal from those around him..but also to make threats. how about be a man and pay off all the people you ripped off....that would shut everyone up. Including me.

the fact is..that you are the one in the wrong...and everyone knows it. wake up.
