You're gonna love them big Hoosiers and flairs...unfortunately, it won't end with them. Take it from one who's past that area before. Enjoy, but remember how much further those babies hang out there once you start driving it and trying to park next to curbs.

Oh it will end with them, when I'm done it stays done, I won't do any more body mods, I have a custom flip front, flares, a custom front frame extension, a big lower scoop for lotsa air.... that will have to do
The only reason ever to do further body changes is if I find a greenwood widebody package

yes, they still require a lot of work though. I may have to extend the front onto the door panel, I don't like how sharp they are there or I may just set the wheel back a bit, if you look at pics of the aci flares installed (69myway's vette, the 80 he did..and others) you will notive that with those flares the wheel doesn't sit in the middle but considerably forward, I don't like that but...I can adjust 
I'll just have to give a few turns on my trailing rods and the wheel will be perfectly centered The little repositioning won't drastically affect the halfshafts either.
This is what I mean, as much as I love the flares I hate how this looks from the side...it looks like someone ff-ed up w/ the install but that's not the case, it always turns out like this.

Thats my problem to.
I got the l88 flares and was thinking about extending the T/A but i just might go with the guldstrand 5link instead.
Do you think its ok to extend the T/A or struts without moving the rest?
