getting 35's

[sandrunner]

My boss informed me today that an other Goodyear store had a set of Regal M/T for only $70 each. .they need to get rid of them because its been in the warehouse for 2 years...so this week Ill have to snag em up...looks like the $ I will save on tires i will do lockers rear and front. + gears sooner.I was going to buy 33" MT/R's. how bad of trimming will i have to do with a 5" lift and 35's

probably not too much trimming... colin (froader) used to run 35s on a 4" lift on his 4 door explroer

 

[slravene]

not much at all most likely....there are a bunch of guys (2nd Gen, i dont know if that makes much of a difference) that run 35s with the TT/Shackles and a 3 inch BL

The Regul M/Ts also run a little small.

I think boomin is still running my old Regul 35s, so he could probably help you out more.

Wont' have to trim much. BKennedy has a 5.5 lift with very minimal trimming. I'll find the pic and post it up. You can see where he trimmed the rear of the front fender. No trimming in the rear. You'll also want to back the firewall a little bit.

Please hold :elevatormusic:

Trimmed just lit inside lip of the front fenders.

Thanks Froader!!! I like the bull bar!! did he make that??? Also how bad will the 35"s strain on the front axle and shafts?? I know that a bunch of jeepers break there dana 35 shafts often with anything larger than a 33"

That is a Jeep bumper he had modified to fit his X.

I didn't have any problems with my front end when I had 35s. I had them on it as a daily driver for 3 years and did some hard core froadin' with no problems.
