gkscobra you guys are lucky where there arent fender laws. Around me you would get pulled over in about 4 seconds for this tires not having coverage. looking good though

what would be illegal? how far the wheels stick out the side of the truck?

 

[TheRookie]

Yes. In My area tires must be covered by the fender or a flair.

To elaborate
In PA State law requires fender coverage. The police commonly put a penny on the side of your fender and drop it. It had better hit the ground instead of ouncing off a tire. The law used to require tread be covered and sidewall doesnt matter. Now entire tire must be covered. You also may only use up to a 3 inch fender flair to achieve this. Luckily the law says nothing about new fenders. You must also meet bumper height requirements but thats a whole different problem

i thought you werent gonna get those spindles. when did you get them? i love the truck looks a lot like my old one

 

[davidmmm69]

got them from someone on the forum name is dave from PA i believe..

it defiatly was not an easy task especially with new ball joints and Tie rod ends and drilled rotors and wheel bearings basically the whole front end...

I am glad i did it now the 31's look like stock tires or even smaller...

trying to find the cheapest place to buy 35's



this was a picture before i tackled the rear springs...

 

[tnvols]

well the plan is to keep mine stock, but some of these look nice enough to get me thinking

 

[ExplorerJimbo]

tnvols... where you from... im guessing tn... in in knoxville!

 

[93liftedXLT]

hey jimbo, nice truck, but you should fill in the gaps and get some 32's and put your back bumper on..lol

 

[ExplorerJimbo]

93liftedxlt, thanks man. yeah im making some gap guards for the rear fender wells if thats what your talking about. and my rear tire carrier should be done this weekend hopefully, if i can get more time on it. and as for the tires... im about to slap some 33's under their on some rockcrawlers!

How much lift do you have? It doesn't look like you have enough room for 35s. I have a 3" body lift with a Superlift cranked up to about 5 to 5.5" and trimmed inner fenders...and still get some rubbing with 35" BFG All Terrains. The rear came out to about a 6" with a spring over axle...no problems at all there!

I would look into some 34"s if I had to do it over again. Just lettin' you know!

are you going to put the front bumper back on because it looks bad without a bumper ,,, you can see too much ugly stuff..
thanks. just my 2 cents which isn;t worth much anyway..

There is a bumber, it's a single tube. That's how the skid plate to the front.

 

[toddious]

i think he means to the left and right of the skid plate, where you can see the engine compartment, and body mounts, etc
