Performance Engineering and Machine makes them...you'll need the offset axle kit which is around 110.00 and then the 8" wheels which are around 100 each for the wear resitant aluminum, they have them at

Couldn't resist this one. :beer: Performance Engineering by far has the best-engineered piece. No I don't work for them.

Just a very happy customer!

Whats the use of having the 8in on the outside and the stock on the iniside does it increase the radius of the track still or what.
Thanks

stock ones on the inside just touch the track when it comes off the rails and keeps the track from bending in the middle. the big ones on the outside are doing most of the work.
i have the same performance engineering axle and the quality is amazing!

Seems to me you'd want all of them to be 8 inchers.
If you use the axle relocation bracket,all of them will be 8's
If you use the offset axle,then you get the little ones on the inside.
From a cost stand point,the offset axle is probably cheaper,cuz you only have to buy two big wheels.
I'm going with the brackets,and two plastic 8's on the inside ,and aluminums on the outside.
