My 91.5 is a standard cab and has an 8" frame.
That figures. mine was built on 8-89.

I'll save you the trouble; it's 6". If you want to do it, go for it. I'm a c**t hair away from putting the 12v from my 91.5 into my Ramcharger. Not even a thick, black c**t hair, either. A thin, red one. That's real close.

Ah, club cab. It may well be 8". It ain't 7.5", though. I think those were limited to early 1-ton trucks. I've been known to be wrong from time to time, though.

Like he said, let us know. Now I'm interested.

Very well could be I can't even remember the last time I saw a 7.5" Some engineer at Dodge liked ??.5 I have a set of rear spring spacer blocks from a late 80s early 90s W150 that are 3.5" tall The W250 ones I have are 3". go figure.

The W150 has 15 inch rims.
Do the D250 rims (16 inch) fit?
Thanks.
