Park your truck on flat concrete or asphalt. Then get down and look at the tread contact patch. It should be flat all the way across.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I moved my m109 mudflaps back a tad with some spacers. There is a pick post 7 here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...Build-Thread&p=1376641&viewfull=1#post1376641Does anyone know by chance if the mudflats have to be moved to create enough space on the M109 with 395 XZL's??? It looks awfully close prior to installation!
they weren't touching, but really close so it was for peace of mind. I just put some spacers between the mudflap supports and the box floor's crossmembers where they attached. The mudflaps are angled back now.I recall seeing that... Were they rubbing or was it just peace-of-mind?
Did you get these tires already mounted or did you mount them yourself? I'm wondering if a runflat isn't throwing the balance off.After doing some testing by spinning the tires after a short drive to heat up the tires it appears the tires and wheels are concentric, my disclaimer is that I was using a homemade pointer out of a block of wood with a screw attached to it do it's not scientific but doesn't appear anything is out of the ordinary as the tires spin.
They run just fine with no beadlocks or run flats. Maybe not on an mrap but a deuce will be fine. The deuce just isnt that heavy. The only time it could be a problem is if you really aired them down and were really running it hard offroad. Then you might roll a bead loose.Dunno if you can run those without runflats unless you replace them with something like these?
