Brian S and his 5 inch lift....

are you able to pick up those putbulls local? after payin $300 for a tire it's gotta be killer payin another $50 for shipping. then again you drive all over the damn place so surely you can pick em up on the way.

LOL no wonder you needed longer brake lines!!! what tires are you going to put on there now?

Im thinking I can clear a 245/75r16 now I dont know

Isnt 245/75 30 inches tall? maybe you mean 345/75 ;-) which are like what 36? You're going into the unknown with the sizes. I bet you could fit 37/38's with the same width. Time to break out the measuring tape!

Lol no I was just being a smart ass. Im gonna go with 35x14.50 in the PitBull Bias Rocker flavor thatll put my gearing where it should be and I dont think Corie could get in the truck if I went with anything taller, honestly its a pain for me getting in and out of it now. I could fit and run 37s if I got some different bumpstops but 35s will be more then enough untill I get bored and make it a full out off road truck.

True and the 37's are going to most likely require hd axels and other upgrades.

I have Ashcroft HD axles, ARB's, Gears and stuff that should be able to handle 37's but I'd sooner not push my luck and break stuff. Plus 37"s are just a plain big massive tire I'm lucky to go have enough power with 35s even the 33s with 4.37 gears its a dog going up hills.

Ed my local tire shop is trying to get them for me if he can with little or minimal shipping. If not I was trying to figure out how I can fit them in the sleeper of my truck itll be tight but I think I can make them fit. The cheapest shipping I found online is $75 a tire so thats gonna kill the idea of having a matching spare (guess ill find a decent used 35 for that).

What dont you have?

i saw em online with shipping that was like $60. can't remember where i just did a google shopping search. for the exact size and tire you were lookin at, they only make one 35 that fits a 16 inch rim.

Yeah I would sooner have a 12.50 or 13.50 wide but they only come in 14.50 but the 15" beadlocks Randy has for me I should be fine with back spacing. I havent gotten to into shopping for them yet since they are so damned expensive. I mite end up going with a TSL for a while since that seems to be the local favorite around me.

i like hte look of the LTB by Interco, i always thought that was a damn good lookin tread.

And the LTB is a lot closer to my price range. I never seen the PitBulls up close or know of anyone running them to check them out. Now the red truck I think we decided on 31x10.50R15 Duratracs for it, I wanted an agressive A/T and they seem to fit the bill on that, I was looking for 32"s for it but it seems like for a 15" wheel everyone goes from 31 to 33 without mutch 32" options.

IROK's FTW

so.... did u choose a tire for your beast yet?

Didnt want to go 33"? You could have fit them with those springs no?

I cant wait to see what you go with on the green truck

Welll the orignal plan was 32"s but I know the second I buy 33"s itll turn into "theyll be too big and dont look right" then itll turn into 2"+ more lift then "well itll clear 35s now" so im keepin corie happy and my wallet happy with 31s. She (WE, guys you know how that is hahaha) all ready decided on GY Duratracs since itll be a primarily driven vehicle since the green truck is a toy.


Im hopeing to score a set of PitBulls yet for the green truck but times are tough since im a truck driver without a license. Either way i'll be going to 35" tires just havent settled on a tire yet.

Your CDL expired? my license expired and i tried renewing it online and thing locked me out said i didn't know my address.... so now i have to go in person.

No I had an unpaid ticket in NJ that I never received in the mail so I have a suspended license, but its a real pain in the ass being a CDL being that its out of state. I sent the payment in just waiting for the receipt so I can go to Harrisburg and get my license released. Yeah a $60 ticket is gonna end up costing me over $400, but my company is helping me out with it. Yeah and I cant do anything online being that I have a CDL for renewal or anything.

This is the only reason I'm glad my g/f isnt into rovers. I have enough on my hands with one. You know the first time she gets stuck anywhere she's going to want bigger tires. But she will appreciate the duratracs on the road.

Please come to the pines and please buy this gas tank skid off me and weld it to one of your trucks

Lol speaking from experience on this one.

I really would like 32s but theres nothing I like. I think 33s are gonna be to stuffed and rub when flexed. Plus its gonna be a daily driver and I dont wanna kill my mpg to bad. I might get a set of 33s and put on another set of wheels for off roading.

Yea thats what I would do on the daily driver. If I had the room and rims I would have kept the other rims.

Yeah I have a set of black steel 15" and a set of stock aluminum 16"s I need tires for either set to get it legal either way.

Not sure if I'll sell them yet or not but they are 16". Gotta wait and see what I end up doing on the red truck first because im going to need a set of regular wheels to get it inspected (damn state laws says beadlocks are illegal). I'll keep you in mind once I figure out what im going to do.

cool thanks man
