Thanks for the kind words guys. Spring won't be here soon enough. -35*C here yesterday morning.:angry7:​

The Dana has been narrowed slightly. 53" face to face, OUTSIDE measurement.​

The steel wheels are 15x10", with 5.5" backspacing. I ordered the wheels and tires first, centered them in the wheelwells, and measured then for the rear. I have almost 3/4" clearance on the inside and outside of the tires.​

As for the rear holes for the springs, I assume you mean for the shackles right? i just used the hoes that are already in the frame, above the old mount. Just welded some big *** washers around/over the holes for extra strength.​

Hope this helps.​

As for traction in the snow, I'm tryin' to find tire chains wide enough to fit the drag radials.:-D​
