Took the truck over to some friends of mine at work and they lifted the front tire off the ground (using a forklift) until my rear was just clear, then lowered it back down to make the rear make contact again.

I had just over 30 inches of travel giving me a calculated RTI of about 700. I'll take that for a first pass at building the truck.

Used a 20 degree ramp equivalent, and 126" wheelbase for the calculations.

 

No pics! darn

 

Sorry, lunchtime, in a hurry. It looked a lot like the shot where I posed the front on the manhole cover like this:

 

Its all good, your trucks a freakin beast now, I love it.

Dang, Gil, if they was any softer now, I'd fall asleep while driving...

and yes, it does feel good to get SAS'd. (referring to your signature.)

 

 

Hey, you got a ramp! I didn't know that, Earl. How far is the truck from being wheelable?
