Once the axle was in I finally had custom adaptors made to go from a 5x4.5 to an 8x6.5 lug pattern. Front I won’t with 3.5” thick while the rear I only needed 2” thick cause of the wider axle. Thanks to USAdapters.com for them.
Got 6 new Firestone Destination M/T2 235/85r16 sitting on 1997 f-350 Alcoa budd wheels.
