i might run 37's when these xterrains are spent. i will definately be going with a tire with a stronger side wall. i really want to try a set of bfg cralwer t/a's. i have heard lots of good things about those.

Remember that tires usually don't measure what they say except for swampers, other tires are normally smaller than whats said after their mounted, plus clearance issues are usually solved with a Sawszall or a "Hot wrench"

You've gone this far, you can't skimp on anything now !!!

I'll have to rescend a previous statement , your truck definately will out flex my toyota ... You've done well ...keep up the good work !!!

"Keep the rubber side down"

haha thanks. im going to try not to get too crazy. i don't want to lay her on her side untill i get the exo on.

im pretty sure the axles will come close to 90* of combined flex. we are going to run a limit strap in the rear, but it is not going to affect the articulation, only the downtravel of the entire axle.

mickey thompson baja claw's are good 2

other ? how much lift are u looking at as of right now.....

[roastbeef]

i don't know how much lift i have. if someone with a stock 1st gen wants to measure the distance between the ground and the bottom of the frame i can measure and subtract the difference.
the baja claws are schweet. very deep side lugs.
