Got my Lift in..

[Acesneights1]

Boing!!!!
It looks and drives bad a$$. I gotta say didn't pickup as much top speed as I had hoped but what I did notice immediatly is the truck has much much more power. This is going to seem stupid but I think being so over geared with tiny tires it was running too high an RPM and past it's torque curve if that makes any sense. It feels and drives like a different truck. I probably only picked up 10 MPH top speed but it just feels so much more powerful and in it's sweet spot.

4" & how big of tires? That thing looks awesome. I've wanted a CUCV for a lot of years.

 

[Acesneights1]

35x12.50x16.5
They are discontinued so when they wear out I'll have to go a differnt route but for now I love 'em.

 

[83GMCK2500]

Like surplus 36x12.5x16.5 Bias HMMWV military tires...'cause those would be awesome.

 

[Acesneights1]

That is what I almost did and probably will do when these wear out.

 

[BudTX]

That looks really good.

 

[Acesneights1]

It's them big ole redneck wheels for sure.

Looks GREAT Kenny!

 

[CtChevy427]

Kenny looks sweet. Are those the tires from Texas?

 

[randomid25]

Nice Kenny. Mine should be looking similar before too long.

 

[Acesneights1]

Kenny looks sweet. Are those the tires from Texas?

No. I found those at the Stafford Swap meet. They are BF AT's. They are awesome tires but unfortunatly they are discontinued so when they wear out I'll have to figure something else out.

Looking great Kenny ! ! ! ! !


Trying to decide now If I want to get the 6 inch lift or the incher.

Thinking the 6 with 33/12.5X15 rubber

4 is just not quite enough me thinks.

Best

33's with six inches of lift wont look right. You will need the 35's

Looks good Kenny, bet you can't break it

Leo

Oh..I can break it...

 

[Missy Good Wench]

Random

Probably right.

I can buy the tires after the lift is installed. Dont want to be unhappy with the lift after I get it installed is the deal.

Anything can be broken, just a matter of time and it will happen if ya put enough stress on it.

Leo

I wouldn't challenge him. He'll find a way to break it i'm sure ):h

Kenny those tires look great on there. Those are the ones from the stafford swap right?

I'm guessing you found a wheel that wasn't cracked?

 

[Acesneights1]

Yeah, got lucky. Guy over in ellington had a whole set. I bought one but I may buy the rest when funds permit..
You have no idea what I can DO to a vehichle as far as abuse...:devil:
I used tow of the tires I got and found two better ones on CL. Sucks that they don't make them anymore. They really are great tires.
