My tires had seen better days, so I picked up some new tires this weekend. They are BFG A/T's, 35x12.5x15's. They replaced my 33 inch Procomp A/T's.

From driving on the street I have NO rubbing issues. I've yet to flex anything offroad.

Also, I had the shop install my pressure monitor valve stems. Once I hook up the receiver in the cab, I'll be able to monitor the pressure in all four tires.

I've got the monitor system from a member on here. We swapped my stock rims for the monitoring system.

balln. prepare to trim though, even if it hasnt rubbed yet.

 

lol....fender trimming!

they look nice but do have a 'snugness' to those fenderwells.

 

Same as my street set. I have them mounted on aluminum AR's for the street and a set of muds (Mickey Thompson MTZ's) for offroad on stock F-150 steel wheels.

Yes, it's probably more money to have two sets, but you get the best of both worlds and your very expensive mud tires last a long time.

 

Needs more fender clearance.

 

How do you have torsions the pre 01? Or was your model one that came with them?

I say crank those damn bars up!!!

 

sell them to me :)

How much did you pay for just the tires?

 

Torsions came out in 98' on the ranger.

 

he has a 2wd trailhead which is basically the same as the 01+ 2wd edge

and those tires look great

 

looks good man

 

now its time for a body lift

 

you dont rub at lock?

 

maybe he just drives in straight lines

 

its possible lol

i know with a BL and 35s i couldn't turn even half way to lock...

 

how much lift you got there

 

lol, I've read to many threads about wearing balljoints, so I'm a bit scared to crank them. This is my DD, so it gets driven a lot, I'd rather not have things wear prematurely.

I paid $183 per tire at Kauffman. Total OTD was $747 ($42 tax). That's with no alignment and the replacement plan if they get damaged. They checked the alignment and it was fine, so they didn't have to do it. Also, Kauffman gives a discount for employees at my company. The discount took off $40.

I want to, but I'm not a fan of the gaps in certain places. Plus, I'd have a lot of work to do on the front end to keep the guard and winch mount. Once I get another vehicle for a DD, I'm like to throw a solid axle underneath and convert it to 4wd.

Nope, it gets really close, but no rub at full lock. I know offroad I'll rub up front, but I don't no how much yet.

I've got 3" fabtech spindles up front and 1.5" AALs in the rear.

looks freakin sweet man.... def love the truck alot. and that monitor system is bad ***... little steep for my price tho.. but hey looks great man

 

You've got 35" tires on a truck designed to run 28-29" tires and you're worried about cranking the bars on account of added wear?

They've probably sagged a bit and could use an adjustment.

 

also depends on what bars he has too

 

what happened to post 17 and 18?
or is it just me?


i guess i rubbed because they were muds? do you have a sway bar up front and everything?

 

If you dont go more then an inch and a half on a tbar crank you will be okay. I cranked mine 1.25in's and its been about 3 years or so and no premature wearing.

 

Yep. I haven't heard stories of bigger tires causing a lot of wear, but I have heard stories about ball joints wearing from cranking bars. I could be completely wrong about both, but all well. I've been stepping up the tire size slowly over the years and never felt concerned. I started at 245/75R16 then, 265/75R16, then 33x12.5x15 and now 35x12.5x15.

I removed the sway bars up front a couple years ago. I did it for the smoother ride. The increased amount of sway on turns doesn't bother me.

Thanks for the info. If I have too much rubbing offroad, I'll consider cranking them a bit.

alright, well i think thats where mine rubbed and the mud flap bracket.. so that explains why

 

truck looks awsome! SAS IT NOW!
