contact patch has nothing to do when ur trying to slow down and stop heavier tires.

be weary of accelerate ball joint and general front end wear with a t-bar crank.

i feel ur pain though, cant decide what size rubber to run on sarahs truck. 32? 33s? 10.50? 11.50? 12.50? lift it? t-bar crank it? aaahhh

but yes, BFG ATs do last unless u like to do burn outs and off-road the hell out of them. mine lasted around 20,000 miles with the rear being 1/8 tread left and the front with 3/8 tread.

dad had a set and got 50,000 or so miles but remember im talking about fullsize f150s and not a ranger so ur milage should be better. he just got new meats put on and makes me regret gettin the mudders some time

 

thanks for ur input im gettin the 265s...

just gotta get some stuff squared away 1st....

 

pansy

as interco puts it, whats the point in getting it up if you can't choose the right rubber? 285~!

 

^^^ now thats just funny right there

 

ah thats funny....

i just really dont see how 285s will fit...with just a t-bar crank

285=33s....

ive never heard of anybody just t-barin it and fittin em i hear bout people 3" body liftin it then fitting but i cant do that...

 

uh...lots of peeps fit 33s with t-bar crank dood...search!

 

with just cranking the front wont it make it sit higher up front...

i dont want to get these tires and then start having problems

 

Uh, Evan I have 33X12.50's with just a t-bar crank.

 

post pics....how many inches...is ur truck level?

 

I think It looks level: it rubs only if the wheel is at a certain angle and your hauling *** into a driveway. But I have had them on for 20,000+ miles and no problems

If you want other pictures just ask and I can take em for you

 

I did trim alittle so it would not rub at all and this is all I trimmed

 

wat u use to Trim?
and ur a 4x2
dont 4x4s sit higher?
4.0 3.0??
MPG?
dead nuts front shot please sir...

THANKS BUBBA

 

Jared had 33's and no lift for a long time, so did Kyle. DO IT

 

oh yeah Andy Measure from ground to fender and ground to top of cab...

 

A REALLY sharp box cutter or knife

4x4 and 4x2 edges sit about dead nuts the same

3.0L

NOW REMEBER Andy here is on 15x10 rims your on 16x7 so not the same sticking out



BTW evan your one of the hardest people to convince and YES 33's fit stock on a ranger there is tons of poeple with it

haha...i got a guy that works at local tire shop that is gettin prices tomorrow with a customer discount...33 x 12.50 x 16 BF goodrich A/Ts

cranking the T-bar and trimming some...

oh yeah....lol..happy Zach

 

was just lookin at some junk..

Super Swampers..they dont last long cuz i can get the same size and get some TSLs or some SSRs for cheaper...but i will be replacing them way b4 i would hte A/Ts correct..


so just stick with A/Ts?

 

Stick with the bfg's the supers wear out FAST

 

Yes Good point..just wanted to be like yes i got swampers..always wanted some..oh well

the cheapest i could find em online was for 172 a tire..

thats the 285 75 16s...

 

LIL BLUE has BFG 33 MT, they do not rub and the t-bars were never adjusted
nothing like stiffer torsion bars right out of the factory
woops... I could have had a Level II
get the 285 or 33 inch tires
worst case you have to trim a bit and crank the torsions
it's not as if it has not been done 100 times before

 

Jey - 1
Evan - 0

I knew i could convince ya.
I'm starting a movement against people with tires that are too small.

 

eh yea watever...


wait its tied.....

Evan-1
Jey-1

Who pulled u out of the mud hahahhaha....

do u think if i got those tires i could flex up on somebody with some 35 12.50s??

 

Ya, but you'll pull a wheel into the air...you can flex on my tires when mine is driveable again.

 

well i just wanted to know cuz i got a friend with a CJ7 on 35s and was just wondering if it was possible

 

alright well ill take your word for it....i just didnt know since it is a mud terrain, it just looks huge but i guess it makes all the difference when mounted.
.....you guys are so smart
