+SconnieHailer's Build & BS+

That's the same height as 285/75/16? That's a wide squatty tire!

 

It's a full size 33.

 

Hey Marc, you anywhere near Yellowstone? Wife actually threw out a vacation idea of towing a small toy hauler trailer out to Yellowstone next year. Might be kinda cool to meet up and do some wheeling if you are?

 

I'm right by there.

Marc is a bit south in lander. I'm in powell. If it's in the summer I'm sure we could set something up

 

You havent regeared yet with the 35s? Hows the auto handling them?

 

My dads did 34s fine. Even towed my ass down the mountain once on stock gears.

But it was sooooooooo much better with gears.

 

Interesting. Its tempting to just say screw it and do them this go around. Only issue that could be a possibility is will they mount on a 7 inch wheel very well.

 

Widthbwouldnt be the issue with 35s on stock rims. The offset would. You'd rub the UCA so bad you wouldn't be able to use them haha

 

Thats what they make spacers for

 

I'm in Lander, so yea close. Monte is closer yet. Be cool to meet you, and do some wheelin! Goose would be a purty one to do with ya since its just north of cook city which is at the east entrance to jellystone.

 

Well a 1.5" tire would be close to the same asa 12.5 on an 8" rim but id just get new rims. You'd need like 2" spacers haha

 

Northeast. But yea that's exactly what I was thinking haha

 

East ish haha. Goose isn't to gnarly except for the last obstacle. Which will be worse this year I'm sure...

 

Yea could be pretty bad. Only be worse that's for sure. Still. Long as he has 33s and is a good driver should be no issue.

 

Agreed. Damn I want to go NOW...

 

Its tempting to get the 5 bronze F5s vin has right now. But i need the suspension first, ha

 

Me too. Be freezing though haha and very unlikely wed make it.

Yes you do haha

 

@SconnieHailer do you think bypasses would be nice in the rear? Like do you find yourself wishing you had them? Its a $400 difference between those and just resi. Just wondering if itd make that much of a difference. Otherwise i could go ahead and order leafs/rear shocks. Then just worry about picking up hydro bumps later.

 

Those videos of the suspension were awesome! Are you happy that you went with stock length uca and lcas or do you wish you would have went wider?

 

I dont know what bypasses would be like in the rear so idk. I'm pretty damn happy with how my rear works. Plus there isnt much room in there for more tubes. I like it simple. And the air bumps in the rear were the best thing for the rear imo.

Thanks Yes. Sure LT would be fun but I drive this truck every day. Yes there are people who dd LT trucks but I dont think it's something id like. My truck makes me plenty happy with the amount of travel it has. It is not a toy per say so i dont have full offroad toy parts on it, err i guess i kind of do minus LT. haha
