I just put a set of 34X9.50 TSL Swampers on do it your self beadlocks on our '86 extra cab with stock gears and no shocks. Holy cow!! I forgot how bad 4.10s and IFS suck with big tires! The tires are pretty egg shaped and the wheels aren't the best either since I'm an amature with the welder. I havn't put on the shock mounts yet so there is absolutely no damping... I think the tires actually come off the ground a little bit around 45 or 50 mph!
I will be seting up 5.29s and using those cheap F-250 towers for the front shock mounts and fabing some rear mounts so I can use some left over 10 and 12 inch stroak monotubes I had laying around. I ended up with between 8 and 9 inches of travel in out of the IFS with those ball joint spacers, pretty impressive for such a cheap mod! Still seems like no travel at all compared to my '94 with the solid axle swap. I am enjoying the hunkered down ride height though.
The truck has a front locker and a welded rear so I should be shelling CVs every weekend! --Wheel On!
