Pictures of my Trac's new shoes.

Those are going to look awesome.

I suggest painting the cladding black to complete the look. It seems to have caught on around here.

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Yeah,I've been planning on painting my cladding since I bought the truck but never got around to it, now that I have black rims and the weather is cooperating I may just get my chance.

Nice wheel/tire combo. It's gunna look awesome.

Looking good - You are me two weeks ago - Putting the tires up to the truck. I Love the 33's if you have 4.10s it's not really that bad. Soft 8's are sweet two - but I am bias.

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Yeah, I have 4:10 gears, wanting to ugrade to 4:56's with front and rear lockers but that'll have to wait until I do my SAS, SOA and move upto 35's. I'll probably sell these rims and tires then and get a bigger /wider rim, maybe 17x9's not sure yet.

Did you have any clearance issues with the 4" b.s. over the calipers or tie rod ends? I haven't mounted them yet, just got my new upper and lower ball joints and axle shaft seals so waiting 'til after those are installed and get an alignment.

 

[gbeals]

Yup - 4.56 for me too - On the short list - Also going to do lockers. I had zero clearance issues. Inside plastic cladding pieces needed trimming - but that wasn't even that bad.

When I used to have 15x10 M/T Classic II wheels with 33x12.50R15 M/T Baja Claw Radials (before the 4" superlift) I would have problems with the calipers knocking the wheel weights off the wheel if they used the "stick-on" type weights. Not much clearance between the inside of the wheel and the caliper. Not sure if anyone else has had this problem with 15" wheels??

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Thanks man for the heads up, I had them put on the stick ons so as to save the powdercoating/ paint on the lips. My XLT rims are ruined because of the clamp on weights so if I can save the rims by using stickys I"ll do it.

If you hear it squealing/grinding take the wheels off and bend down, or cut the top off of, the little "squealer" clips between the break pads and the caliper. i have had to do this over and over whenever i change my breaks or even sometimes when i rotate my tires.

Small block of wood, and a hammer, flattens them right out - I had to do this with my front passengers only. Took a whole 15 extra seconds. But yes - good point to bring up.
