I love the look when the tires stick out further. My front tires stick out a little more than the rear, and they rub the leafs.. I was going to get wheel spacers but i've decided I need to get new wheels for my bigger tires anyways so i'll just get the right backspacing.

Looks good. Another place for you to check for gears is Completeoffroad.com, those guys have some pretty great deals on gear packages.

What's your pressure set at on the tires? You can get them the flatten out by letting a little air out.

thanks but they want $575 for open diff R&P package for both ends and from summit i can get that plus a ford racing LS carrier for the rear for $75 more... my tires are at 30, i think thats what i told them, maybe i sohuld check LOL

i put a bunch of pics in the 4X4 pictures thread for ya...got some snow-mo-wheelin pics today...had lossa fun! and these hawgs are great in snow...as long as they are spinning they are pulling...i freakin love these tires!

any ideas as to why my truck eats T-case chains? i stretched it out in aug 08 when i got burried in 2wd didnt even have the hubs in cause i wansnt looking for mud but i found it then the driver side hub got stuck and locked that wheel up and i wound up stretching the chain to ****...replaced it about a year ago so its only got 6 months driving on it and its stretching out and starting to skip again!?!?! which gear drive T-case will bolt up to my truck? and what trucks will i find it in?

thanks guys

Any Ford Tcase from 97 or older will bolt to the tranny. but if I remember right there isn't one that is a direct swap. To make a 205 bolt up, u have to cut a notch in the mounting ring on the trans.

Well, it is now FINISHED. It looks good. Wider wheels would make it look tougher but that is just my opinion. Great job.

Did you get anything back from the tire company for having to wait so long?

Yeah I forgot about that. Did you get any discounted stuff from Kal-Tire? lol. Money back? Anything??

OH, and its not done. Remember, we added "Flex like Ed's truck" to the list. If he were done, I would be a millionaire.

I was going to PM you about the money. Now I guess I will continue to wait.

I could sure use some.

i think im gonna do the wheel spacers before wheels...i might go 8 lug so if i do id rather not buy a set of wheels use them a year then have to buy new ones...either that or just suck it up and try not to crank my wheels lOL

they were studded and balanced for free with balance beads...about $200 worth...plus since i work for peterbilt i got $200 off the cost of the tires to begin with

Oh i'm keeping plenty of pictures.

Actually my dad was here helping me, and we had the rear jacked up. I was like "Hell yeah this looks good." and after we let the jacks down I was a little disapointed.. I think i'm itching for more lift...
