New puppy, new shoes. Got my steering stabilizer today, hopefully I can get my alignment dialed in this weekend and the stabilizer welded up. Just did a driveway tape alignment on install. It drives straight, but I think I have a little too much toe in.

They're piled up in the shed, they rubbed a bit and since I am not happy with these springs or the axle placement yet I didn't want to start cutting. They're for sale if anyone wants them, I'll buy another set when the time comes, but the way things are going I won't have the money to do the suspension for a while. No sense in cutting my truck up now to fit something now that may fit later without cutting. These should net me some MPGs and a little more hill power, since this is my DD that would be

I bought the tires used and mounted, no choice.

I absolutely love those seats, a 5 hour drive round trip to get tires and my back wasn't even sore. Can't praise that enough.

Just confirmed the wheels are 15x6. I don't want to roll the bead when I air down. Don't know if narrow rims help or hurt this issue. Kinda new here

First of all, BIG ups to a S/C builder. Like the Truck man, Classy Style with the 'Round Eye' 81'. I'm jelly, for sure.

Secondly, and to answer the quoted Question, You will see high likelihood of 'bead-rolling' with a 15x6 on a 10.5 diameter tire. I swapped out some 15x8 D-Windows for the Old 15x6 90's Steel Plate rims, and am certainly leery of airing down for just that reason.

Keep it Up, SCToys, lookin' good.
