Installing Tru Turn

[Garymac69]

Vince,

Are you saying the 6.875 backspacing really worked? That is much, much more than what ridetech recommends. I would think that the tires would rub bad at full lock and would severely limit turning radius. Is this a stock subframe?



I just installed the ridetech TruTurn and complete front suspension system on my '69 and for the last 2 days have been measuring for new wheels. I borrowed an 18x10 with 5 7/8 backspacing and 275 tire. With the Ridetech recommended 5 3/4 backspacing, I do not see any way I could get an 18x10 with 275 tire on there. With a 3" drop, it would have severe rubbing of the fender!

Hi Mike,

How does it feel?

Back notes, Brian @ Dreamspeed was able to finish up the car.

Allen and I found that Dynatech headers fit kick ass and fits the Ridetech Tru Turn system with ZERO issues, plus having a 1 3/4" to 1 7/8" step is an added bonus. They are also designed to fit around the 670 boxes. The Dynatech stuff is built very well.

Maybe Mike can post some pictures.

we were able to fit my 18x10 6.875 back space rims with 285/18's. I think a 6" back space would work great.

We didn't get to drive it with the 285's, We got put on another project and it was finished by the other guys. We did drop it all the way down and turned the wheel lock to lock. It wasn't too bad. Wish I had more time with it to experiment.
