Yes those are the lightweight ones with a 2 inch back space have to figure out what's up for the back doing some funky stuff just chained the rear end so I got spacers coming so I think I'm going to have to do 2 inch in the back as well

what rear end do u have? i thought SA's were narrower than GSL-SE (which could allow u to run even deeper dish wheels).
