    Well, mine has the frame rails moved in and fits a 325DR. Almost a necessity if you want a larger tire. First thing in the way is the spring bump-stop, then the rails. Too much work to mini-tub and NOT do the rest...

    Thanks. I seem to remember a green maverick on here that was mini tubbed the pics he had it was on a lift so you could see what he did to it had the leafs moved in like the dodges did. Just cant seem to find the pics of it. Aany way do you have pics of the fram mods you did to yours. Whats that 325 compare to in slick size??? I wanna run 28/12.50 on a 10 inch rim

    A 325 is the same size as your slick: 12" tread, 13" body on a 10" rim, and 27.8" diameter. E-mail me and I'll send you a zip with pix of the rear rails...

    Crites Restoration sells a spring relocation kit for the early Fairlanes, can easily be adapted to a Maverick.
