what year truck are you talking about?
no matter what year it is, you won't have to get rid of the a/c and you will have to tub the front.
i have firestones in my kp kit and i like them very much. the air ride kit has firestones in it as well. i like the stones personally.
hope that helps.

Your def have to tub the firewall, trailer the front and rear fenders, relocate wiring harness to cab connection, trim fender lips front and rear, I personally like slams, and they do very well up front on an FSC, but they dont do well in the rear with a kp kit, the kp puts them at severe angles and they are a much thicker bag, unlike floppy contitect or stone (not stepping on toes but those bags are physcially lighter and more elastic) you may have trouble running 22's and a panhard, im not usr ehow much the kp shifts through range of motion but on 11" wide rims it could be a night mare, thats why I went with a Watts in combination with my 22" wheels, i have 3/4 ton axle and spindles and NO room to spare out back and it was tight up front as well!

Like mentioned above and most likley have your rear narrowed 1.5" or so if it's a nbs. Alot of work anyway you look at it.
all depends on the BS of the rim altered
if your have cast rims or mass produced rims and want to tuck without fuggin up the bedsides or fender lips you have to narrow.....no way around it..and its not cheap either...around me its about 1000.....but I might send out the housing to another state to get it cut and put it all together myself...

We cut and narrow bare housings for $250. And unless you get a billet wheel you will need to narrow the rear.
i dont have billets. and it tucks. FYI. Granted there is less than 1/4 inch of clearance on each side(it still does tuck). Also i have a 9.5 inch wide wheel and they make a 9.0 in my style so what would give you even more clearance. Just my experiences

hahah, I seen pics. Hacked is a understatement :jacked:
ahhh, sry i thought you ment they just wouldnt work, not fit them without cutting. ,my bad
Cutting is one thing hacking is another expecially if your running step sides then narrow the axle is the only way with a mass produced rim , I have not found one yet with the correct backspacing and I sell alot of different wheels.
ok my truck is a 96 reg cab short wheelbase the wheels i want to get are boss 304 i think im still not sure what the back space is but can some body tell me what type of back space i need to get thanks

Yeah got another trans back in, runs good, still have to get it in paint and finish the interior and sound, Im thinking about doing a sheet metal dash.

if you do a sheetmetal dash look into doing a center piece like the one in the infinity g35's....sooo hot..
ok Im done whoring....sorry

i know that the 304 20" wheels tuck fine. If the backspacing is the same, it should work good. Out back, get the KP dogbones lengthened 1.25" to lay on the 22's if you run 265/35/22's. Lengthening 1" is enough, but 1.25 will give you a little extra room to play with.
