New Tires!!PJ"S

[Xeek]

damnit, stop messing with my mind! im becoming confused as to what to put the 37s on!

i vote no flares. theyll go in a little more when the wheels fit on the lugs. front does need something to make them work tho. back, shackles?

 

[jd4242]

They still will stick out to far.va they cant stick out more than 2".im thinking the back will be fine with just the bl,remember its 2" higher than my front.front is going to need the f-150 seats and the bl!

jd-That looks INCREDIBLE! I just read thru most of your registry for "Double Vision". Somehow you will find a way to get those tires on. I have a 2" bodylift, had to fab up brackets for the bumpers, make cuts in the rear bumper etc. No probs with steering, extension not needed.

You mentioned gunmetal grey paint, great choice. One of my favorite vehicle colors. Cant wait to see more progress. Always motivates me to do more, although 33's were my ultimate goal. Then everyone has to start posting 35's and up and then it starts the ball rolling all over again....

Im impressed that your going to try to get these bad boys under there.


So have you got these big boys on yet?

Saw the pics--They look great, really dig the metal flake!!

Not ready to tackle suspension lift-Superlift claims they have never been able to get the t-bar brackets on the 95's to line up properly for accurate alignment etc (95 has welded t-bar brackets, 96+ are bolt on, yeah lucky me). With the current lift I have I had to trim more than I wanted to (although it looks pretty stock unless I point it out). Anyone can hack up fenders to make tires fit, I wanted it to look stock and retain all moldings. Currently the 3.73 works fine with the 33's so will be staying that way for a long time. Sorry for threadjack here!

looking forward to more pics jd!

 

[jd4242]

Yea i couldnt tell!! I thought 3.73 was working fine with my 33s till i swapped out rearends and went 4.88 NIGHT AND DAY difference

speaking of that, i saw a red dodge sheep pickup , around stock height and with what looked like 31x13s, stuck out maybe 5"


if i remember your area right, i saw a white with blue stripes ford gt when i was getting pizza. looked awesome. seen it before?

 

[jd4242]

I dont wanna draw any more attention than i will already! ! Yea he lives around here somewhere.going tomorrow to have them demounted and see if anyone around here has those rims in stock that dont want an arm and leg for them!!

 

[jd4242]

tires are demounted and 2 rims on the way.they charged me $30 to take them off and going to charge me $60 to mount and balance all 4!! they asked what i was putting them on and i said an explorer,they broke out in laughter!!!!!WTF they was like "i hope you got a ton of lift and new motor,trans,and gears to turn them bad boys!!" now this is where i broke out in laughter and told them,"i think ill be good" the shop was pungo off road,they are good people though

 

[jd4242]

got these puppies in on Friday just haven't had time to post some pics.i was going to paint the black part gunmetal to match my truck but they look so good that i might not even mess with them and i think it will be a good contrast.i also pressure washed the tires and shined them up a bit,man they were dirty!!im getting 2 mounted wed and ill post a pic of them mounted and on the truck,till then enjoy

 

[Foxracin]
