Iggy's $1 Taco

why no 35s

 

The more I keep reading on 35's the more I want to do them.

 

come on do it everyone else is

 

Awesome! Looks great dude! Did you regear? If so which one and are you a manual or auto?

How much did you have to chop?

 

I got a 6spd man got a 456s elocker axel waiting to go in when I get my arb and 456s for the front I cut 2.5" out of the flars and fenders and most of the cab mount it's not to bad with the 373 for now untill more $$$$$$$ for front

 

Cool man that helps! I've been told 4.56 for man and 4.88 for auto, but I like being over geared a bit. I'm at 2.2K at 80mph right now.

I want to get 35's bad!

 

I've been running my 35s on the 3.73s since November ish with no problems. I'll be going with 4.88s since I plan to go bigger eventually.

 

You on an auto right? Researching 35's keeps opening up a can of worms. Now it seems I need 3.5"s of backspace. Those are proving hard to find.

 

Yeah I'm an auto. Pretty sure my wheels have the 4.5 back slacking so i out a .75 spacer i there until I get my truck back then I'm swapping it out for a 1.25 wheel spacer.

 

That seems to be the common consensus. So 4.5 with a 1.25 spacer is like having a 3.25 BS.

Do you find that your wheels track too wide?

 

With the .75 no. I haven't been able to add the 1.25 yet. I think once I re attach my fender flare it will be just fine.

 

yea 373 with 35s is really not that bad I could live with it if it wasn't for 9mpg

 

How's the truck doing? I finally go those amber covers. I'll send them out soon.

 

This was last week....



Should be done in 2 weeks or so.

 

Got some new rockers for my switches. These are XIV rockers that work with existing V-series Carling Technologies switch bodies. They turned out great! I can't speak highly enough of OTRATTW and their products.

Old rockers:


A mix of both to compare:

Those things look nice!

 

Thanks!

 

So I just found out that I need new bushings on my steering rack and LCA's along with new lower ball joints. I found all this out getting ready for 35's.

Planned mods for now:
Greaseable cam bolts
Wheelers Steering rack bushings
Wheelers bumpstops front and rear
New LCA's (maybe TC stock length ones )

 

Preparing for 35's. Getting ready to trim the fenders.



I'm going to order snips on Monday along with BFG 325/75R16 KO2's. Can't wait!
