Hey guys, No need for fancy tubles rims for the bigger sizes, just run the tube! the XZL or XML(which ever i have) are tube or tubeless. the XL's are supposed to be tube type only. I am running the 2 1/2 ton axles with home made rims. Just added 3 inches and got 10.5x20. Not that big of a deal to make.
Out back i made all new boggie arms from all DOM. The leaf springs were a little harder. You will find that most spring companys wont make a 2 1/2" wide leaf over like 58 inches and you need around 64 total. They say they are hard to keep strait that narrow or some thing like that. I quickly talked a duluth complany into giving it try anyway. The're great plenty close enough.
made up a 3 inch suspension lift by dropping all hangers down 3 inches. Followed that up with a 3 inch body lift. Some people will tell you the 1600's will run with no lift. They are right but all wrong at the same time.They will go on and move down the road but dont ask for any suspension travel.
I would also advise power steering, im not much of an air assist system, it makes it much more fun to drive.
Hey mangus, if your out there, is there anyway i could put this one the main page or some kind of stickey on the mods page so it is easy for newbies to find with out wasting time with the search button? All the new people wana know about it and we just tease them with a couple pics. I know id be frutrated.
