I keep hoping for a really bad winter in NE so I can get a crew from there down here to sunny warm (ok 111 was a little too warm the other day) Florida! Got BBQ, boiled peanuts, crawdads, grits and fried okra!

If you have accommodations better than a leather couch to sleep on, I could be in. Winter no longer bothers me, but 111F(and humid!) certainly does!

What about going from rear disc to drums on an IRS? Does that bring the rear wheels inward at all to help with the cmc driver side tightness?

Depends on what disc brake kit you have, some kits actually are zero offset. If you have clearance now, why do you need more? Wider tires? And if you got more, you might need to re-center the wheels, which you could do now(but only if your wheels are steel).

I don't know of a single soul who would go from discs to drums. None.
