Got some bigger tires today!

[MillerTimeX17]

I was getting tired of the 265s so I found some nice 285s last week and finally got them installed this morning. I got a set of 285/75/16 Cooper Discoverer STT's and these things are beefy!! Cant wait to get them out on the trail. Enough from me, heres a few quick pics-

Yeah I did the Truxxx lift a while back after I already bought the 265s. Wish my rims were 9 inches wide and not 8 because I think a 305 or 315 would be able to fit under there.

Awesome tyres Millertime! Your rigs an absolute beast.

That looks really good, how does the v6 do with that big of a tire?

I know my 4.0 here in Colorado is struggling and I only have 265's.

Looks good. Whats the gearing ratio?

Did you have the speedo flashed to correct for bigger tires?

Let us know after you go wheeling with it, if the tires rubbed when flexing it.

How far is your speedo off?

 

[Sams01XplrSprt]

lookin good keep up good work

 

[jasonthebombero]

Looking good a buddy of mine has them on his Cherokee. He really loved them!

Hey guys thanks for the compliments. The ride is soooo much smoother with these tires. My old Duratracs were extremely chopped up in the front and made for a horrible ride. But now with the new tires and inner and outer tie rods its a lot more comfortable.

Sweet!!!!!! Has some really rugged tread!
How far is your speedo off?

Well i had it recalibrated for the 265s so its not off too much. According to my gps and radar speed limit signs im looking about 3 to 4 mph off. But its a real dog now. The 4.0 has a really hard time keeping up.

Looks great!!! What's next on your list of mods?

Too much to really list!! But top of the list headers,underdrive pulleys, and a good tune. Just so it doesnt feel like im draggin a semitruck behind me.

How about some 4.10's in those diffs?

How about some 4.10's in those diffs?

Yeah I would kill for some 4.10's. Just cant find any to fit the front diff. I know some type will fit with a crush sleeve but not sure which ones. Im willing to try it though if anyone can find any more info.

 

[Ronin8002]

According to Dana Axle's website we have a Dana Super 30/186. So Dana 30 gears should fit....but it's not certain if you can keep the crush collar or if you'll end up using preload shims. See the below link for info. Just disregard the front trutrac carrier part.
