my quick fix for the bolt pattern is to get some adapters(1" spacers).

Its not even close to wheelin time yet. I leave tonight for vacation gettin back in a week, when I get back The build up of this beast will begin.

No Ill be going SAS, soa front and rear. I was just stating with a body lift and trimming I could fit these fine no rubbin. (other then the radius arm)

I havent drove it at all! i cant not turn very far without rubbing. It has 4.56's(my ranger has 4.10), but yeah itll be sluggish for sure, with the wheels mounted, these suckers weight is like 100lb's each haha
 






oh ok.. you just couldnt wait to see em mounted huh? haha looks killer tho and especially with only 5.5" of suspension lift
 






yeah man, i was just dyin to see what they would look like. Ive wanted these tires for 3 years now.
 






my quick fix for the bolt pattern is to get some adapters(1" spacers).

Try to find 5 on 4.5 to 6 on 5.5 adpaters that are 1" thick. (they dont exist) It has to be a 2 piece adapters because one of the bolt holes would overlap if its one piece. Your looking at 2.5" thick per side. Plus the fact that a narrow waggy axle is 1" wider than an explorer per side, the front is going to be 3.5-4" wider than the rear per side.

So unless your going to run a fullwidth axle in the with custom 5 on 4.5 shafts or get 4" thick spacers I suggest you either change the waggy bolt pattern or get different rims and custom shafts for the rear (like spas did.)

It does look good though, im goin to a set of 38.5x15x15 boggers when my SX's wear down.
 






Then i really dont know what im going to do...something thats for sure haha.

Yeah explorers just look mean as hell with boggers!
 






I keep reading posts about people worrying about bolt patterns!! Guys you can put 5x5.5 hubs on the Waggy D44 than just get 5x4.5 to 5x5.5 spacers on the back. This will also bring your rear closer to the width of the waggy axle.
 






If your gonna go with a d44 and swap the rear , look into the 5:38's for those monsters. I have a HP44 and 9" out of a 79 Bronco I'm building for my Ranger and thats what I'm gonna use(no ????'s about gearing there)...........




P.S. the X looks great on those 37's:salute: .................
