OK, whats needed to fit them. By this i mean, body lift, gaurd mods, etc, etc. NEED to know this before i spend the $$$ on them
Oh, and the suspension lift will most likely be 6"

Firstly is it pre 94?
94 onwards from memory can only run a 16" rim without mods to the rear brakes where as pre this date can still do with 15"
eitherway 2" suspension and 2" body
or 4" suspension, both will give varying degrees of scrub on the guards, but again this all depends on the spring type and if you keep the sway bars

I am 99% sure i will have a 6" lift once the tax man makes his yearly offering....i dont REALLY want to do a bodylift anytime soon

they will fit easily with 6" or even with 4", scrub will be minimal. late model 80's do have larger rear brakes which will only clear 16" rims but the brake caliper can be shaved approx 3mm to fit 15" rims, alternatively modifying your rims fofr maximum offset or using wheel spacers (1 - 1.5" is plenty) will also clear the brakes with 15" rims. alloy rims are a no go.
