I'm running one of Pete's (Airkewld) 4" ball joint beams in my '66 and I love it. The one thing I'd suggest is that you make sure 4" is enoug for the backspacing on yor BRM's. I'm running 5 spokes and I wanted to fill the wheel well so I went 4" If you want it "tucked" with those BRM's you might look at 5 or 6" and you'll probably end up sacrificing some turn radius. Why not 165/45's instead of 145's? They're actually smaller overall diameter and give you a wider footprint (IE more stopping power) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Blakesley | "We think we are free.
