Pictorial Database: Suspension/Tire/Wheel

Let’s begin a pictorial database for suspension/tire/wheel setups. So many threads get cluttered up with questions about what people are running, and it would be so helpful to browse through and see all of our combinations in one source.

RULES
Please keep the chatter to an absolute minimum. If you like somebody’s setup or have further questions, contact them directly. Don’t quote their whole post again and then say. “I love your truck”!!! This is to be a DATABASE and not an Oohing and Ahhhing thread, or even a "questions" thread.

YOU MUST INCLUDE DATA, and lets keep to a specific format if possible. List the Brand of the item first then the Size. If unknown, then write unknown.

I’ll begin.

Truck: 1974 F250 Custom - Crew Cab Highboy
Drive: 4WD, Cummins 6bt, NV4500, NP205 (divorced)
Suspension: Front = stock leafs with front pivot points dropped 1" and 1" lengthened shackles. Rear = Deaver 4" lift leaf springs for a 2500HD Chevy (G7 is Deaver part #). Springs are the 64" springs and were installed with Chevy 1 ton spring and shackle hangers & a custom, 7.5" eye to eye shackle. Sits at stock ride height but without the blocks needed.
Tire: BFG A/T - 315/75r16

Axles: Dana 60 Front / Sterling 10.5 rear with hubs machined for 8x6.5 lug pattern.



Better pic of the truck here, but the front end was being held up by the forklift & the bed had a bunch of weight in it so ride height was way off.




Truck: 1974 F100 Custom - Supercab short bed
Drive: 2WD, 360, C6
Suspension: Front - Autofab 4" lift. Rear - Factory - Stock Height
Tire: BFG A/T - 35” x 12.5”

Axles: 9" Rear
