Nice trucks! What's the old saying?- "the only difference between men and boys is the size of thier toys?" You guys have some nice toys!! Old geezers like me would need a manlift to get into them!

I'd like a little more info on the mods to the 5 tons drivetrain ( rear springs , blocks , lift ) and some pics of the suspension . What are the height and width of the tires . It's cool !

 

[adamsoffroadperformance]

The 5 ton has front springs in the rear and it has 4"x6" heavy wall box tube stood on end and are 6" tall other than that the rest of the truck is stock the tires are 28" wide and 67" tall with 4" of cleat these tire are rice and cane tires from a gleaner combine for use in wet and muddy fields. Also the wheels are from a Gleaner model F combine which uses the same bolt pattern as a 5 ton. The axles in my bronco are 7 ton rockwell top loaders with air locking diffs. All the parts other than the axle shafts and differential are the same as a 5 ton truck axle. Does anybody know a good place to get 10.26 ratio dropouts for a 5 ton I just found 2 in the scarp yard but am looking for more.
Thanks
Adam
