I need a 4" min to leave 1/8" clearance side to side, might fab 4.25" just to have a little room side to side. Pivot point would need to be at 2-2 1/8". So nothing too extreme... Rear is a whole different deal. Gonna turret rear, and tub arch. Atleast that is the plan. Possibly raise subframe if that doesn't get me where I want. Thanks guys. Gonna go ahead and order 1 side of sleeves to mock up in a few weeks and go from there.

 

I would imagine that your coil overs will hit the back of the wheel with the diameter you are talking about using.

 

At full droop there isn't loads (about 3/4") between the back of my standard 12" steel wheel and my coil overs.

I have a little more room on the front and back due to my offset of wheels. Spoke with the company I was gonna order the air sleeve shocks and they don't have enough stroke, I believe it was only 2.5" usable stroke. So I will be looking at air lift chapmans or ridetech 7000 sleeves, but they are about 4-5 times the cost of what I was hoping to use.
