The wheels bolted on w/ out spacers. They were on the truck when I got it. I'll see if I can't get a measurement from ground to wheel well front and rear a little later. And pics of the shackles up tomorrow.

excellent man, i appreciate you doing all that for me...

anyone know what the width of a stock rearend is for a SRW truck? the Previous Owner had a 14 bolt installed and i'm wondering if the offset needed may be different for the wheels...

Well all I've had time to do is measure the wheel wells. I had to rewire my tractor today. Had a wire ground out where I couldn't get to and fried most of the wiring. Anyways, the front is 29 3/4" and the rear is 32". That's from the ground to the bottom of the center of the wheel well. I'll get the info on the shackles up soon.

Did this end up getting anywhere. I have plans to make mine a short bed and lower it. May have to do some cutting to the inner fenders
