BDS 6" long arm concern..

Ok i have a 6" BDS suspension and 3" body done to my truck, i know i can clear 40's with this lift set-up but im worried about the tires hitting the arms i put on with the kit, anyone know of a wheel that is offset enough to where it wont hit the arms? im looking at the 41" iroks and im putting them on black moto metal 951's (i hope) IF they clear.... anyone have ideas?

I would try to stick with a wheel no wider than 9" maybe 9.5" and have 5.5-6" BS. If they rub the arm a little...either ignore it or shim the steering stops a little. Otherwise...the tires just stick out to far and will hit the sheet metal if you flex the truck at all.

i've got 13" wide 37's...my wheels are 10"s wide with 5.25"s of backspacing...no way in heck i'm gonna rub on the arms, however the fenders are a different story, but i'm ordering parts as we speak to take care of that.

later, dustin

Have the lower arms bent into a slight S shape that will allow the tire to fit in the bend area... that is what we do with the jeeps, and it is basically the same design just alot heavier on the trucks.
