I'm thinking about doing this. But you move the cab too much and the wheels wont be centered. With the squarebodies it's the fact that the wheels move back at full drop that causes a problem. Some guys say just adding alignment spacers will take care of it. You don't have to tub much for 22's.

Not sure on the SQ bodies but on my 94 we moved it back about an inch or so. Not enought to notice but got away without any tubs on 22s with 255/30/22s.

Brian, I have about 3" tubs or so. Its hard to gauge cause we just rebuilt the whole firewall.
