[Yomie]

Here are some of my pics from indy truck bash i finished my current set up about 2 days prior to this show. Enjoy.

First off this is what i had to cut to fit the 33's with the 2" BL and tt/shackles

Thanks

[TarHeel085]

what kind of tires are those? truck looks good! keep up the good work.

 

[Yomie]

Thanks for all the compliments guy's. The tires are make by a Michelin off brand (Cavalier) they are Mud Kings, i got them for ~ $100 a piece.

Nice truck! Did you have to trim your bumper valance on the ends? I want to do the same but am worried about rubbing with 33's. No rubbing in turns after that trimming?? What gears are you running?
thanks

 

[Yomie]

The picture that i posted with the trimming of the "tupperware" is all i trimmed, it does not rub at all anymore, although i have NOT had the truck off road yet, but on the streets, i can turn lock to lock without any rubbing. no trimming on the bumper valence.

I have 3.73 gears and it is perfect for highway driving, a lil sluggish in the city(i have a 5-speed). When i get more $$$ saved up i will regear to prolly a 4.56

if you have anymore q's lemme know

Also what is your backspacing on your rims? I looked into those tires and the cheapest I can find them for is $119. Oh well, I think my backspacing is 3.25 and they may rub. What size rims too??
Thanks so much

Yomie--very nice man. You just keep getting nicer. Let me know how your gas mileage is after you've had them for a while. Again, very nice!

Happy trails!!

they are american racing 136's 15x8 with 3.75 backspacing, with your 3.25 they might rub a lil more, but just a lil.

on http://www.etires.com/ they are $109 for the 33x12.5's (mud King XT is what they are called) but i dunno about shipping, you could try there

Thanks Josh, man next time your in Louisville lemme know and we can meet up somewhere like Cory's or something. Sorry about the 3" BL deal, i've been trying for the longest time to get the Superlift 4" and the truck also got stolen early this year but i got it back, i was a lil upset for a while.

Now that i got the 33's i thought i would be satisfied, but i'm actually not, i feel that the truck sits too low, the tire size is perfect, but the truck sits too low

nice truck

Hey, What did you do to make your tailights look tinted like that?? Also, would that 33x12.5 fit on stock 15x7 rims for the time being, until I get new 15x8 inch rims? How much rub would I have with 2inch tt and shackles, 3 inch PA body lift, Would I have any problem fitting a 33x12.5? Or should I just go with a 33x10.5 ? thanks

 

[Yomie]

For the tinted taillights i used a product called Night Shades that i got from a local import shop a lil while ago

You would be better off doing the 3" BL and the 2" TT/Shackles, i had a lil bit of rub, you can see where i had to cut in the pic above. With the 3" BL i don't think you will rub quite as bad as i did. and with the 15x7" wheel, Paul Gagnon has been running 12.5" tires on 7" wide rims for about 2.5 years now, i don't think you will have probelms, jsut maybe a lil more accelerated wear in the middle of the tire. i personally think the 33x10.5 looks way too skinny, i would definitely stick with the 12.5" tire

You can do a search on the site for Tinted Taillights and there are several people here who have tinted the taillights and i think some of them may have ordered the tint online

The only think i really used from this kit was the blocks themselves, i had to get my own bolts made, make my own front bumper brackets, rig up the rear bumper..but i was able to use the fan shroud drop brackets, it was a PITA! You prolly be better off with the 3" Ranger body lift.
