redrig, where exactly did you get the picture ? lol. those tires are HUGE, and look really tough

Redrig
08-16-2003, 01:38 AM
what do you mean where did i get the picture? i took it outside my house after my last lift. j/k :p im not sure someone on the site photoshopped it for me.

N2MUDN91
08-16-2003, 01:58 AM
I have that exact same picture in My Pictures, I think im the one that did it.............. Yup, all mine. Anybody else got them on an X yet (photoshopped) ? Lets see it

Hmmmmm, wonder if my stock Sammy axles would hold up to those :D They are a beefy 3/4" in diameter :rolleyes:

That isn't Char is it...

You could actually use a set of 30" rims and still have plenty of tire with that Outter Diamater.

That would be awsoome what size you running now ? could you fit those?

PEACE

Mike
08-17-2003, 02:02 PM
i can see those on ricks truck..

Bashman
08-17-2003, 03:16 PM
Rick would have to seriously air down those to get the great pumpkin into his garage though. As he stated in another thread that there is just over an inch clearance for the truck now and that's on 35s. But still, it would look cool.

You could prolly do it on jefe's truck if he had a BL :D

Rx4phun
08-17-2003, 05:57 PM
yeah either him or Cory could make them fit. Jefe might need a bit more trimming though

IAmTodd

Nah, well, maybe a little!

Rx4phun
08-17-2003, 08:23 PM
i wonder how many feet it would take before the IFS fell apart

IAmTodd
08-17-2003, 08:58 PM
LOL

So how wide are those, and what size rim? 20?

2001ExpSport
08-17-2003, 09:07 PM
Those are the new Super Swamper IROK muds...very cool tire....very too big for my truck.:eek:

Sizes are 21x49x17 & 21x49x16.5

Next to it is a 19.5x44x16.5 Bogger

See prices here! (http://209.240.4.82/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=48&Product_ID=1832&CATID=10)

so thats 21 inches wide on a 17 inch rim

and 19.5 inches wide on a 16.5 inch rim?

xxblackxx
08-18-2003, 01:38 AM
you'd probably need some rockwells to handle that big/heavy of a tire combo. Then again, those would weigh more than the truck.....


I doubt anything short of atleast a D80 from a e350 or something would handle one of those.... roasting bearings would be the least of your concerns with a smaller axle.

Heath
08-18-2003, 02:21 AM
yeah, just wait until you get the bill for the shipping too!!! Truck Freight only I'm sure... I can't imagine the UPS guy rolling those out of the back of the truck!!!

JTX
08-18-2003, 02:26 AM
I was thinking of getting a set. How much trimming would i need with a 2 inch lift? Also what would my top speed be with those and 3.73's. LOL :)

Rick
08-18-2003, 03:10 AM
Think I could fit those on some stock Explorer rims?? Maybe with a wheel spacer for clearance?? Would a torsion twist be enough lift with an add-a-leaf in the rear??

Top speed I would say would be 200mph, time it would take to go that fast, 48 hours :D

Hey, I've got 17x10" rims. I think I could weld up a 6" body lift. I wonder if anyone makes some 32.56:1 gears?....:rolleyes:

N2MUDN91
08-18-2003, 11:08 AM
If i got the duff 2.5..... and a 3" body drop....... could i fit these little things ? or maybe i could tub out the rear end...........

Well, now you all know what tire I'm planning to run with my SAS. LOL

Still need to engineer the retractible step ladder to get in to my truck though :D

Only thing that would look even remotely good on would be an Excursion or an old school Burb.

Nice show truck. It must be a male making up for something else. At least, that's what I was told from a FemBot the other day that the store when she saw my Exploder.

That thing is nice, will it ever go in the dirt or is it all show Rick? Also, what front axle is on that truck?

Rick
09-07-2003, 05:36 PM
The Durango and the huge Ram I've shown before both belong to a guy who is about 65.

He drives them daily and he just likes big trucks that are built well.

The young lady works at FST in the office.

So most likely neither of those trucks will be "used"? :(

Man i think i need that YOUNG LADIES phonenumber. lol. She is a little hottie. And the durango is cool too. But i think those tires are just to big for the durango. I mean it may be built to handle it but they just look unproportional.

Man thats a big truck. But from the looks of it, he has very little tire clearance in the rear. I think it would look better with some cut-out flares:)

I'm in to liftin' an' all but, MY GOD by that point you KNOW a guy is either in need of a truck that big (doubtful) or just trying to compensate for something else. And I think you get what I am trying to say by that. 44's 49's. I thought the set of 39.5's I saw to day were just outragous. (The amazing part is they were 39.5x15 R15. That's right R15. What the... I thought.

That's awesome, and here I am trying to fit 33's.:rolleyes:

Nicaraguense
10-19-2003, 12:55 AM
¿Did yours feel anemic when you put those 33's on? Mine feels like it is sort of with 32's (4.0 SOHC) I just hope I can afford a chip soon and that that chip will restore most of my power and MPG's. They say it is supposed to make a huge difference.

addkev
10-19-2003, 04:33 AM
A chip is definetly cheaper, but you can do anything with gears. I would save up for gears before buying a chip, especially with gas prices the way they are.

Protrucks out here has a Mystery Machine on 44's and they are about to put it on 49's.
