Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

I think this is my favorite taco yet... mid travel front with spring under rear on 285. Thing drives so nice and is such a sleeper! All it needs is a TC pump to be perfect

 

285 what? 285/70/17 or 285/75/17?

 

I think they are actually 255/85/16 which is about the same as a 285/75/17 or a 33x11

 

What's the science behind having the shocks canted forward so much. Most gofast have them like that. Where we set them closer to vertical for what we do.

 

Classy

 

I think it's just trigonometry, and how much travel do you want out of a given shock size...

 

Math and science

It’s so you can get 19” of travel out of a 14” shock. (Keeps the shocks under the bed)

 

Maybe, I mean some "claim" that having shocks angled towards the center help with off camber and like body roll. I don't know if that's just old wives tails or if there is any truth to that.

I just see it a lot on the go fast guys and almost never out here. So was curious as to if there was a reasoning for it.

 

Is that the standard spring pack or the HD? Looking forward to getting my SUA and shocks from you guys glad I went this route.

 

Pizza cutters 255/85/16’s. They looks a little wider because of the 8.5” wheels.

So stoked! Thanks for fitting me in Harry

 

It’s definitely an interesting topic. Many crawler guys run them rearward which has always had peaked my interest as it typically runs less than a 1:1 ratio.

 

That was my truck before I went with your LT front!! Only diff is I was on 315’s

 

Standard H70

 

ya'll got me all sorts of confused on how I want to move forward with my suspension now lol. I'm on 285/75/16. Front is pretty comfortable, was thinking of going to deaver in the rear to match comfort. But LT.....

 

Do you know what brand tires he was running? Can't zoom in far enough to see. Wondering if E Load or D

 

they look like Cooper St Maxx

 

I hear those raptor spec 37” ko2s coming C flavor. Kind of want to try them.

 

S/T Maxx all of the 255's were E load

 

Yea st maxx E load. I used to work out of this truck with up to 800lbs of tools and other crap in the rear and now it’s completely empty and i have zero complaints with them

 

I'm pretty sure most all 255/85r16 tires are E load range since that's a dually tire size same goes with the 255/80r17
