Talking Rollin on 34's

I got some new shoes!! 34"x10.5" LTBs on Black Rock Crawlers. I upgraded from 31's to 34's. I only have a 2" body lift and Downey rear coils, the only rubbing is at full turn and flexed. I had to cut my sliders off tho because they rubbed :cry: I have to cut them shorter and move them up to make em fit. ooooh oooooh pics:
EDIT: Pics are at bottom of page:Pics

Nice man I thought about LTB's a while ago. How are they on the road? I have heard people say they aren't very street friendly. I am back to 33x12.5 Mud King XT's right now. I was going to run 35x12.50 geolander MT's but that deal fell through since I couldn't get the gears too.
How much power is lost running the 34's? I haven't seen much of a power loss between 32's and 33's. The Air intake and the cat back exhaust I have have made up the difference in power loss so running them with 4.56's isn't too bad.

The pics should work now
Yeah they're not really street friendly but off road they are king. I've never had so much traction in the mud.
The power loss is only really noticable on the highway where 5th gear is pretty much useless

Woohoo! Thanks for the pics. I've been considering this for some time on my Tacoma. The only thing stopping me from doing it now is my gearing in the diffs...the change would be very harsh.

Can you do me a favor and measure how tall the tires are when they're on your truck? Also, if you can jack one tire in the air and measure again?

Thanks very much,
Jim

Well, my tires are used so they're a little shorter than new ones. The Interco site has the exact specs if thats what your lookin for

I was suprised how well my truck runs these tires with stock gears

What width rim are you running? The height will vary there too.

I guess I'm just excited/suprised to see someone else with same idea as me.
