I think much more than 4-5” would be too much.

Here you go. Here is 7" wider aqualu. Too wide for me.

I agree that 7 looks to wide, leaning towards 5 inches

On an 80 chassis, I widened the fenders 3 inches each and added flares to the bed.

I am definitely going to widen the body as well, just trying to decide how much. I think 5 inches is what I am going to do. Curious what your wms to wms distance is. I am at 63.5 inches

I am using stock 80 axles and I believe the wms is right at 63".

Started building the section between the b and c pillar, going to widen the body 5 inches. Plan is to build the middle section, then widen the aft tub to match, then the front. Hopefully this will keep everything square.
