Y'all dig?

 

I'll have to check it out

 

Black Friday Deal of the day


I verified this is on sale at the Rocklin Store. You may need to check your local store ads.

Happy Thanksgiving ya'll

 

you waiting in line?

 

Nope. We have a store in town that sells for $399 when on sale. Not worth waiting in cold for $20.

 

that is what i was thinking as well. they had few things that i was looking at but not really that good of a deal. River city gun exchange has deals all the time.

 

Sacramento Black Rifle had them for $399 and I am sure they will again. Rocklin Armory will be having their 1 year gig on Saturday. I plan on stopping by.

 

anyone have a 315/70/17 spare. Im thinking about going to 35's on my next set of tires and would like to see how well it will fit and chop chop before i buy. I just about ordered them anyway and said f- it.But then i thought maybe I should prep first.what if its like iggys and they rub the UCA, anyone that has done it ,would you like to help me out. I'm feeling a little nervous about it. Any pros or cons? that I might want to think about, or just do it and dont look back. The only thing Im worried about would be the UCA. I really dont want to buy new rims again. as of right now on the 285s it looks like i have lots of room.

 

Have no fear man! It can get done. I have a good idea now of how to clear everything. It's not a lot of work just constant until you figure it all out.

What rims and UCA's do you have?

 

How much backspacing? I'm going to order 33s for this trip to Moab but when I regear in hopefully the fall I want to go up to 35s. Just don't want to buy rims twice and don't want to have to run spacers

 

The 17's I have are awesome! -12mm is perfect.

 

I'm gonna run 16s what width did you go with?

 

im on MB TKO there -6 off set 4.5 back space i think. with LR UCA's there is probably 1.5 to 2" of clearance right now from the UCA to the sidewall on 285's. Im not too worried but with seeing the issues you had im second guessing my decision. according to all the specs im seeing its about 1" to 1.5" wider tire. meaning only half that on the sidewall to UCA side. Right?

 

I think to run 35s safely one would need 3.5"-3.75" of backspacing on a 8" wheel

 

by 35's I mean 315/70/17 ture size 34.5" only 1.5 above what im running/ and 1.2" wider. I real think they will fit once i TRIM the fenders.

 

If you can I would go 17's and preferably SCS. I had two sets of 16" wheels and there was always a compromise. 17's also give you a better tire selection.

Are you running stock rear shocks, or a relocate like BAMF? You *might* be ok. You can always get 35's and figure out if you need the UCA's later. The TC's are my third set of UCA's so I can tell you what works. I also took the longest path to fit these 35's but I'm finally done.

 

I'm working on doing the same. After wheeling with @stroM- and seeing what a diffence a bigger tire can make.

Also, dirty fives drop panties

 

So is it safe to say I can mount?

 

for the rear im running a stock location but extended travel. there like 11.something in travel. there a stock shock for f-150's. it gives nice travel without the relocate. that brings up another problem at full stuff the 285's are super close to rubbing. I dont see how the relocate would help in this matter.. just gives you more options for shocks.

 

You're doing it for sure now!? Be careful with that @stroM- guy, he's all about that LT.
