New shoes! 32x11.5 - stock suspension
 

Well I had some financial set backs this year. But thanks in part to the "stimulus package" earlier in the year, I was able to take the portition I set aside for myself, and buy the wheels new from summit racing. Took me a while, but I FINALLY got a set of tires and had them mounted / balanced.

Fortunately I was able to find out that the brake calipers run close to the rim! So I made sure the shop that balanced them put the weights in the proper areas.

Also, I bought some zoop to help protect the bare rims for the winter time salt. Still need to clean and apply it here pretty soon.


Here is a WEB PAGE with several pics and a short description.

That looks awesome! So thats stock height? no Body lift, no t-bar crank? Id like that size on my 04.. But not sure if theyd fit.

looks good. i want some 32's realy bad.

Looks great Rich

They'll fit no problem

Looking good Rich.

Looks great man

You think so?? I mean the front looks a little lower than the back... Ill have to get a picture up of my truck soon. But anyways as i said before, nice truck man.

Looks good rich. Old school style wheel. Maybe this spring we'll even lets those AT's see something besides pavement.

I'm thinking that a good posibility!



04BlackFX4, it's all stock *except* for a 1.75 crank on the T-bar screws. I did that quite a while back to get the truck more level.

same rims and tires ive got on order looks sick

Looks sick. Nice webpage too.
and damn you ran a 14.54!! Not bad

Very Nice Rich!!! Lookin good

looks great Rich!! I like it.

15x8 or 15x10?

I'm jealous

OH btw... just some random info. (actual measurements I carefully took)

Stock tire/wheel:
weight @ 42k miles = 53lbs
circumference = 93.75" = 682 revs per mile


32.5x11 @ 7k miles & Alcoa level 2 wheel = 59lbs

32.5x11 @ 7k miles & MT Classic II 15x8 wheels = 58lbs
circumference = 97.75 = 656 revs per mile

15x8 it says if you click the link for his website I was wondering the same thing :biggthump

15x8's Still need to ZOOP them and the aluminum centers I bought. (steel ones on it now)

hehe i guess im lazy.

That was on the stock tires. These are not much heavier and are not much taller. So I'd expect to only drop a 1/10 or maybe two at the most because of them. Next summer I fully expect to be running 14.6-14.7 (on a 60shot)


Rich

expect to get better traction with the wider tires?

those look awesome

yeah, maybe the lower 60' times will equate to a faster ET.
Your first 60' will really make a difference

or launch it in 4wd:scool:, jk don't do that

I won't know until I try. Right now I'm running a 87 tune and it'll spin them. But not as much as the stockers. One thing I have noticed is that these things will squeel where as the stockers just made a scuffing noise.

btw, it didn't raise the truck too much. Only about 3/4 of an inch. But now my wife wants me to put the nurf bars back on. :crazy:

Rich

LOL.. actually been there done that. It didn't help. 60fts were the same. (it's a sticky track)
