Ford Fullsize Thread !!!!

These will fit a little better when I get the d60 in but they actually work at stock hieght and only rub on the springs at full lock. They are 37x12.5 r16.5 military take offs on 16.5x9" ar 82s.



Then found a little hill to test them out on



Looks good! I was surprised to fit 37's on my truck with no lift and just a slight front fender trim. What finish is that on the wheels; really like the color.

I want to know what rear bumper that is. I need a swing out carrier for my truck. I have a company that said they would be willing to make one, but haven't finallzed anything yet. If one is already available that would be great. Can I get some more pics of it please. Thanks in advance.

My rear bumper is a Smitty Built M1 that ive modified to have a tire carrier
Maybe try Aluminess.com and check out their rear bumpers.
As long as you keep your tire 37" and smaller, they have the bumper for you
Hope that helps

So jealous of the new body style...might have to do a front clip swap next!

Took the truck to BCC yesterday to get a Carli 4.5" kit installed, along with some procomp lift springs on top of a Deaver mini pack.

The truck rides amazing on the street now...and its incredibly smooth on dirt. I just went for a quick trip around my back yard trails and it's really fun. Yay!




This thing is freakin AWESOME! 41's?? I love that setup.. 4.5", cutouts and 41s... Fantastic!
 
Has anyone tried fitting an engel or other fridge in place of center console ? I picked up a 99 7.3 crewcab and the 40/20/40 center seat back is looking a bit ratty and I have no need for a seat there. Either going to put in a ford console sourced on ebay or something more functional. Looking for ideas if anyone has some suggestions.

What tires are those?

335/80r20, you will likely need to do a bit of sheet metal trimming to make it clear while steering, and allowing for suspension movement. I can give you a street review, you definitely know you have a big aggressive tire on, but they are not much louder than the continental 19.5" tires that came stock, there is a bit of a shimmy in the steering wheel although I never had them balanced other than beads. My friend balanced his on his dodge and said it actually worked and he is really happy with them now. For offroad he said he had to really air them down, you have to remember they have a 6800lb load capacity...compared to usually 3500lb capacity-ish with a normal consumer grade truck tire.

Coastal616 your truck is amazing. I know you have posted a bunch of pictures and comments about it. From looking I don't see any build thread, do you have any more info on the build pictures and such?

What do you use the truck for? Those are some beastly tires to run as a DD.

I have a few build threads around the internet...maybe I will do a recap here as well. Truck is a DD/work truck/bigger family camping expedition truck. I'm transitioning to forestry work, so the truck will be perfect for commuting to the bush.
