35" BFG MT's on a Low Height OME Lifted 80

[Spydaz]

Well to report back on rubbing... I went over the bumps and such that i rubbed on before the spacers and nope no rubby rubb. I even tackled a very high new york long island curb and no rubb at all.


Thats what we call " Curb Crawling" here on LI... Simular to rock crawling but less lift needed, you just basically hit the face of the curb and slowly come down the back of the curb, but be sure you use that brake pedal ever so gently as to not to spill your latte all over your new Polo Shirt... See the biggest screw up that our fellow Long Island Curb Club has is comming down the rear of the Curb.. These guys just goose it, they need to use more brake!!!! LOL

Wanna try 35's on a stock suspension with maybe Mr Gasket spacers on all 4 corners? "Try it and see". I'd love to hear feedback on it. I already know you can wheel 33's on a stock suspension....

Here's what that would look like - Mr. Gaskset, and 315's. Rubbed big time. Lowered the rear bump stops, and no rubbing, but rode like crap on rough OK roads. Think heavies would have been better for low lift - actually anything would have been better than LX springs with 175,000 miles on them. Ultimately put J's and L's on, just did it piece by piece to manage the 100+ deg. days in May in Oklahoma .

I would expect the rubbing on high speed "whoooops", or serious off roading. Any experience with those (whoops) yet?

 

[Spydaz]

Spydaz, funny you mention this, because I was in Central park today and yesterday for the CPC (Central Park Crawl). It's a 3FE thing... if you follwed the yahoo 3FE list today, you'd know what I mean. Anyway, I'll post pics these pics I took... photos are of Jon Held in his 80 and Steve Crase in his 62...

 

[MoJ]

lol....I didn't notice that on my last trip to NYC.

 

[tarbe]

Wow...that's better rock crawling than we have in downtown Houston

 

[convert]

Man Steve gets around !!

 

[overhanger]

Wait 'til you see Eric's photos of Jon and I making our way across Central Park Lake. That sucker is deeper than you'd think it would be!

 

[Buckums]

[LandCrusher'70]

Man, that would be awesome!

LOL................... That is a pisser....... Nice photoshop!!!!

Well did the beach and all is good, no rubbing in the rear with the new 30mm spacers. Truck looks damn good, those spacers balanced out everything...

I still cannot stop laughing at those pics.... LOL

 

[Land Speeder]

Nice photoshop!!!!

Photoshop? I'm too un-schooled for that hi-tech crap. I did these with MS Paint! I'm the Network Admin, not Graphic Design.
