[dgonz]

Ordered. Thanks for the reply I appreciate the help! I'm gettin ready to do my TT/Shackles and put some new shoes on my Trac!

 

[HazardousRanger]

ur welcome man, is TT torsion bar crank or....? lol

 

[dgonz]

Yessir, I'm going to tighten my torsion bolts to lift the front end of the truck

 

[Pjibs]

Nice choice! I'm currently saving for some MT sidebitters. Can't Wait!

Those are the same wheels I have on my Trac now with 33x12.5x15 GoodYear DuraTrac's. They were on sell for $45 each. Here's some pictures...

Midnight, do you have anything other than a TT/Shackles? Do you get any rubbing or anything?

nice i did that to my edge ranger best decision ever

 

[LONO100]

you can never go wrong with cragar 8's. those wheels never go out of style and for 50 bucks a pop, thats a good deal. rebel's got one of my favorite tracs on the forum, and he runs them.

He has a 3" BL also.

 

[MidnightRebel07]

I have a 3" bl on it too. I've cut away some of the cladding and still get some rub on the inner fender over bumps while turning. I need to install my new longer torsion bar bolts so I can take the TT back upto 2", I know they've settled over the years. I bought the longer bolts from Zabteck Technology.

 

[dgonz]

Nicee, So what size tire would you guys recommend for a Trac with only a TT/shackles on it? Something that won't have any rubbing I don't want to do any trimming...... I want to get to a body lift later but it's not in the cards at the moment.

 

[MidnightRebel07]

I ran 265/70/16's with the TT/ SL and didn't have any issues with rubbing.

This is the same tires on before the TT/ SL, all stock.

 

[dgonz]

And would that tire size work with the Soft 8's?

Sorry for all the questions...like I said tire/wheel sizes confuse the heck out of me. And then when you start switching from metric to inches and back and forth and I just get completely lost.

 

[MidnightRebel07]

No problem, yes the size I mentioned will fit on a 16" wheel but you're buying 15x8" Cragar's like mine, right.

This link will help you learn about tire sizes, what the numbers/ letters on the sideall are for, etc...

Since you don't wanna trim and you're using 15x8"s then I'd go with 31x10.5x15 tire or you could probably get away with a 32x10.50x15 or 31x11.50x15 in a LT tire.

Also a 265/75/15 tire is the same size as a 265/70/16, just different rim sizes it totals out to be a 31x10.50x15 tire.

 

[dgonz]

Awesome. Thank you so much for your help that's exactly what I needed! I'm so excited to get this lift done and the new shoes on there! I think it'll go great with all the red and black on my Trac

i can never find 31x11.5 tires, would you mind posting a few? i know for a fact that bfg all terrains only come in x10.5

 

[MidnightRebel07]

They're not 11.5's but still a great deal. Not Mine, found on Pittsburgh, Pa. CL.

[MidnightRebel07]

Looks like they discontinued 31x11.50x15's, I looked on a couple different sites and couldn't find any.
