: Backspacing...

Anybody know the OE backspacing on the 16X6.5's?

I was looking at the Fabtech 3" spindle kit and they suggest a 4.75" BS. Everything I've seen is 4.5" or 5".

Ive seen a few HD's around with the Fabtech kit and the front has a wider track (front wheels stick out about 2" more than the rear). I've also heard this also occurs with the Rancho 4" kit.

Im ready to move forward and level/lift my truck but Im very particular about the wheel issue. Any suggestions?

I do believe that the PYO's are 5" bs.

4.5" for PYOs

PYO's?

The more I look it seems that the only way to keep the wheels tucked inside the wheelwells is to use the green keys and a 4.5" BS.

Im still not getting the accronym, but I did order the green keys and will search for the +2" Billsteins this week, even though I hear they are quite hard to come by right now.

That's what I thought too.
