I've got my F450 vs F550 for Poor Man's Earthroamer going on the boards but now I am looking for some specific advice from you guys on tires and suspension.
Toymaster has been really helpful in pointing me in the right direction to clear 42" MPT81's, and I am pretty set on that direction.
However, expeditionimports has a sale on the 39" that would save about $1,000 on the tires. I am wondering then about suspension. If it only takes a little suspension work to clear a 39" tire, and the tires are cheaper, that is intriguing. Super singles.
I am hoping those of you with 1999-2007 Superdutys and larger tires can weigh in and tell me things like:
-What tire (size/brand/model)?
-What suspension, lifting or trimming changes did you have to make?
-What rims are you using, factory, Rickson, other?
-Costs, if you feel like sharing.
-Are you happy with the end result?
-Pictures!!!!!
I'm asking for a lot here, but it could be a big help to others as well.
Any info would be much appreciated and thanks.
