I'm running 18s in the front of my '95 with 40 series tires and my heater box had to come completely out...we mounted the bags on the radius arms (yes, we plated them off like we did the frame in the back and gusseted the the badger out of them, so they're strong enough...so don't give me crap about it!!! hahaha :P

snoop, did you have to modify it? my tires are 225/40/18s and before I even let my truck all the way down I could see that there was gonna be a clearance problem so I just went ahead and took it out

a buddy of mine told me that we could cut part of it and glass it back together, so I would still have heat

The only thing I had to modify was the lower a/c line coming out of the condenser. I just had to bend it towards the motor a little bit. Image It's a tight fit, but it works. Yeah, I know my engine bay looks like the badger!!
