35" BFG's

 

wow, that thing is sweet! are the 35's ok with ifs?

 

Thanks......no problems with the IFS/35's at all...

Here is my work in progress.

 

Well, I finally get to post in my own thread.

I just got finished today though so don't rag me too hard for no dirty or flex pics...

8.5" of lift, 36x13.5x15 IROK's on M/T Classic Locks with 3.5" backspace.

 

mmmm...iroks. nice man..nice

 

Oh man..............that's the funnyiest thing I read all day!!

vmax84

 

Had 35's and 5.29's on my '82...should'a kept it.....

 

you guys are nuts....

 

mine with 35x14.50, 5.29's,MPG...dont care. I have a better pics somewhere though...jumping to 39's soon without any more lift(fab and trimming)

 

That looks awesome mate!

 

I'll throw in a pic of my 90' with 36/14.5/15's on the front and 16/35/15's on the rear. Both on 15x14 wheels.

3" body lift, 2" over stock rear shackles, and trimming/hammering of the front fender. Bumper valance was cut, but is no longer there.


Oh yeah, ignore the photoshopped snorkel in sticking out of the bed

 

37's on 7" of lift:

 

I was on stock 4.88's and they worked fine the problem was the auto, but after the manual shifters I can cruise at 65 in top gear even at its current fighting weight of 5300lbs...

 

thanks 4rnr.

clean truck my friend. very nice!

 

Where do you guys get your designs for full body roll cages? Is there like some standard best way to do it that everyone mainly follows or do you just start welding away and see what comes out in the end? How was the one done in this picture? Did you take it in to a 4X4 shop and have them do it or did you do it yourself? I ask cause it seems like there is an excessive amount of members in the top section of it. Don't get me wrong, its definately a work of art. Its beautiful and I can only imagine it took an incredible amount of time to make all the bends, notches and welds. I was just wondering where the design came from. If that thing was to roll do you predict that any of the members would bend? What size tubing did you use?
