But maybe my tool is wrong....it is a flimsy piece of plastic that is going back to Jegs after all! I'm starting to think I just need to order 18x9.5's with 6" back spacing to get my 275 R888's mounted and start pounding
If you are having a problem in that area what we do is weld in a piece of 3/16" steel plate which is drilled and tapped to accept the sway bar bushing brackets.

This will allow you to move the sway bar mounting back a 1/2" or more. Some frames you can back even farther. You can modify the spring opening flange.This will give you the room you need.
