Try calling summit tech support, they should be able to tell you what you'll be able to fit.. the 2" lowering is whats mostly going to hurt you. Also I believe the 87-89 had a wider lip on the underside of the wheelwell, so you may have to trim that. Give them, or even Weld Wheel company a call... they'll be more than happy to help you out
