Lift spindle question-2002 TXT

Ok, I have a couple of questions and concerns before I order anything.

Couple pieces of info about this project to help:

2002 TXT Gasser

I load it in the bed of my truck anytime I haul it, which is pretty often, sometimes I'll leavr it in there for golf the next day.

Use is 95% golf, 5% camping and running down to the local brewpub, so a bigger lift isn't needed for me.

And, I'm really only lifting it at all for appearance. Ego, if you will.


That being said, here are my questions:

With a set of 12" wheels, and what are listed as 21.5X8.5-12 tires, I'm thinking it shouldn't widen the track too much with those alone, correct?

And still getting me around an 1 1/2 or so of clearance, just from the tires if my research is right.

While, a 4" axle drop kit not only widens the track, but also lengthens the wheelbase, and even more with the 5" axle drop?

My biggest concern is making 100% sure it'll still load in the truck, so every inch counts.

That's about it, sorry it was such a long post, but I figured I'd give as much info as I could.


Thanks guys in advance!

It looks like the tires you listed are only .5 inch wider than stock. The other important factor is offset. The stock wheel is 7 inches. the offset is 3x4 meaning 3 inches of the wheel is inside the mount surface and 4 inches is on the outside.
A 2x5 wheel would move the wheel out an additional inch.

Thanks man. Appreciate that guide. The wheels in the pics LOOK like they have more offset to the inside, but until I get a hold of the company, I wont know for sure.

Are my ideas correct about the additional width and length with a 4" axle drop vs. the 3" spindle route?
