2" Backspacing is a little bit excessive...stick to no less than 3.25"
backspacing. (I run 3.75" on my wheels.)

Custom wheels will solve this problem. Just order them with less
backspacing (say 2"). Its a little tougher on your wheel bearings but it
looks so damned cool with the tires stickin out. If you need a
recommendation for a wheel builder I know a great one. It might cost a
slight more that these AR767s that seem to be the rage on this list.... and
I think you get your choice of spoke or modular.
I really havent gotten a close look at anything on the Dak yet (still
waiting) but if its a compression shackle in the rear, the easiest way to
gain some lift is with a longer shackle. I think I remember reading that
the lowered guys on the list have longer shackles, which makes me think its
a tension shackle.... I'll stop my babbling here. Maybe I atleast helped
with the wheel thing.
