FOURSKIA,
Your rig looks really nice with the lift. Impressive stance.
I know your pain when it comes to the shock location and tire rub. I have the wheels to go on my rig with 2.5" backspacing, might be too little backspacing, will inform later when I get the money to install the new wheels. The Ford rims if available should do the trick, or order cheep steelies like I did, just not with so little backspacing. Don't off road your Sporty unless you just want to roll on springs, cause it looks like the shocks will snap on a bump at this time. Mine did, several times. Continuous replacement part till I get the wheels on. My passenger side shock broke the other day when some of my wifes big girlfriends <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> got in the Sporty. I was on a ice, slid, corrected, and the rear end swayed back and forth then the shock broke again. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
