Attention: TDR Forum Junkies OK, I have spent hours, scratch that, days, reading posts on tires, wheels and lifts.
I have a 1996 4x4 Long Bed. I thought I'd like to put 17x9 inch Eagle 102's on it that carry BFG 315R70/17's. These wheels have a 5 inch backspace, which is less than I'd like but my options appear limited. It seems like some 2nd gen trucks like them while others say no way.
I was planning on going with the D25 springs, DT Control Arms, and a DT Track Bar... . the more I read the more I feel this isn't enough.
Are there differences in front axles between the 2nd gens?
How about Fender linings? Are they different on the later 2nd Gens?
There are so many threads on this. It would be great if we could make this the end all and put it in the FAQ and get it to bed.

P. S. I also posted this in the general forum but it may be better here.
