tire size

I already have a 3 inch TT and shackles and im doing a body lift soon can i run 35s?

 

[OffTrac]

I have less lift than that and have 35s. You'll want to do some suspension upgrades though.

 

[01Strac]

like what?

 

[OffTrac]

Here's a good place to start.

Oh, and a 3" TT with Load Range D tires (most 35s will be D or E) will be pretty stiff. LR E would probably rattle your teeth out.

 

[01Strac]

i am thinking of going down to a 2 inch would that help out any?

 

[OffTrac]

Yes, but it will require more trimming. If you want 35s, you have to be okay with trimming though.

 

[01Strac]

i dont mind doing trimming eventually i wanna turn the ST into a full blown mud truck

 

[OffTrac]

like this?

 

[01Strac]

idk yet lol something around those lines maybe no so big

 

[OffTrac]

Haha, c'mon, someone needs to make a Sport Trac mud bogger on tractor tires. I haven't seen that yet.

35s are a good start but I'll admit, they do not make it a mud truck. Not even close. Mine is getting a new steering rack and pump put in right now because of a mud hole I knew I should have avoided.

The silver or white one?

Check out this thread Offtrac started about fitting 35s on an ST. He and I ran almost the same setup (I had shackles, he moved to add a leaf) for a while and took them on trails quite a bit. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=332208
