When I switched from the 11.1" section width to the 11.4" section width I ran into clearance issues!!! I had to trim the crap out of the quarter lip & work the inner/outer wheel well to keep it from killing the sidewall. I have barely 3/8" clearance on the inside towards the leaf. Very tight! Make carefull meadurements on what you will need to safely run the rims you ordered. Just don't over look the outer clearance of the quarter panel & inner wheel well. Good luck! JD

Are your leafs in stock location or relocated?
