Default looking for a thundersallon kit for 3dr sierra

who still makes a 3dr thundersaloon kit, i know about the Smith and Deakin kit, but is there any others, or any used kits around, the viper powered sierra needs more rubber and this is the only route to go we think, anyone got any other ideas to get at least a 295 18 wheel under the arch with no rubbing issues

Not sure about a kit but have you thought about going the other way and tubbing the inner arches to fit the wider tyres? And either narrowing your axle or fitting a solid axle?

its got a solid 8.8 mustang axle already, tubbing inside would be difficult because of the amount of cage that would need moving and changing, then the axle would maybe need narrowing as u say, its plan B though

Proper axle! If you're on 28 spline shafts it's pretty easy to narrow, or you could maybe get away with playing with offsets on split rims.

May require some cage work but it;s the way I'd go.

Yep, as I found out no one can shorten 31 spline shafts unless you're in America!

been and bought the kit listed here but as thought it is way to wide for the look we are looking for, the kit i'm looking for is this one with the small lower intake vent, anyone know who makes or made it.
