suggest relocating it to the top of the trailing arm rather than grinding it down.

Would it be possible for a tire center to do what needs to be done to put 275s on the rear? or would i have ot do it at home first?

I think it's under something like "will 275's fit on my car". And it could be as far back as 10 pages. Patients my friend :cheers: good luck

I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the same post as mentioned above, but in a recent related topic somebody suggested getting the bracket relocated at a muffler shop. I'll be checking into that myself.

Someone said you can just grind the out edge of the bracket off to get them fit. I moved mine to the top of the swing arm from the outside of it.

There are no instructions needed. Anyone can cut it and reweld it
to the top of the a-arm. I paid a local shop $15 to do it. I agree w/others and wouldn't go grinding it down.
