start hammering away inside your wheel well and get your fenders rolled for security sake to start off with... then adjust the backspacing, etc. if need be

[krazykorean35]

<---noob to wheels etc

[RrCoX22]

whether your wheels will need to be spaced further away from the axle/hub, etc.

...what wheels are you gonna be running?

for anyone that puts 11s on the rear of their car, DO NOT REMOVE YOUR BUMPSTOPS!!!!

lol i did it and banged the axle on the frame. all bad. i just bent back the brackets and reinstalled them and did some BFH modding, no rubbing so far with a 2in drop!!

if you dont wanna get rid of the bump stops you can trim it so it wont be that harsh when you bottom out.
