    Hey guys
    I need info about ideal rear axle width, I have my eye on a Maverick 8" and a Granada 8", one is 56 and one is 58" which would be the better one to get, i have not yet chosen wheels and tires, but do not want to be limited when I go to do so

    If your a fan of the "cowboy" genre get the Maverick. If you have any Spanish blood go for the Granada.

    No matter what they say about size doesn't matter - she wants the bigger one.

  15. Maybe you should get them both - what ever ONE you choose will be wrong and you'll need the other.
    Boom! You'll already have it.

    Then in a few months you can ask if a Nine inch would be better

    Kinda like putting the cart before the horse.... you better decide on wheel/tire size first.
    Me personally would buy both. Add the extra to the rest of the **** in the garage.
