Finaly, I figured out how to resize. The first 2 of my front after I put in a 2in narrowed beam, drop spindles, and adjusters. This is the lowest it'll go, I'll raise it up an inch or 2 for final ride height.

The last 3 are after I put the rear wheel on today. I think it looks good, and I have no clue what possesed me into thinking a 9" would fit. A 9" rim with no tire maybe. The inside will hold a 9" wide wheel, but you run into the spring plate, then the shock tower. A narrowed rear tortion would fix that. But that's almost too much for a 2inch wider rim. 10"s maybe?... Either way. This is what I have right now. The back will settle a little more and I'll lower it more too.

What you guys think?
