I'm amazed at the size difference between a 285 and a 315 size tire.

So "I read it on the Internet do it must be true" seems to be a common theme on many topics. Well here you can see pictures of actual thing that may go against what some post on the internet regarding what tire size fits with what lift.

Here is the front fender area.
With a 2 1/2" OME lift on the front and running 35x12.50x15 mounted on Eagle Alloy 589's with 3 1/2" back spacing.
Front sway bar is connected.

Here is the rear area.

Same tires and rims listed in previous post.

Running a new 4 1/2" OME lift and OME compatible shock with the new Slee cross link. No sway bar.

While installing the rebuilt radiator, I decided to upgrade the fan.
I'm either going to loose 3hp or increase air flow.

The previous fan was worn down a bit due to the broken shroud and broken motor mount.

Real tire size comparison between BFG MT 35x12.50x15 with 28psi compared to Goodyear Wrangler MT/R load range D w 28psi.

The measurements are tread width and the next measurement is tire width.

The final picture is the height. They are exactly the same at 34.7" at 28psi.

Time for some New Mirrors

Where did you pick up the mirrors Dan?

People out there who are parting out an 80 series seem think their Mirror Assy's are worth GOLD.

You can buy Brand New OEM replacement Assembly from RockAuto for $80 U$D. The exact price depends on the style you choose, Black or Chrome.

I mistakenly ordered a Lexus one for the passenger side.
