Hello All, Its been about a month since my last post, and I do have some new info for you all.
Since I sent my truck up to portal tek, I have changed my plans for the vehicle slightly. Unfortuantally, the 3" body lift and the slee 6" lift are going away in favor for a coilover setup with the blisteen blackhawks, which means a little more fabracation up front and in the rear. this should give me maximum wheel travel with out tipping me over because of how tall I would have been.
Then out with the new tires and wheels for some new tires and wheels. I have put about ohh.. maybe 3000 miles on the krawlers. Ive washed my junk more than i have been able to drive it. So im looking at a new set from Hutchinson Wheel, in a 17" flavor. preferable a 17x10. with what ever the nessary backspacing is for the portals.
As far as the tires go, I need something that will give me an all around usage, mud, dirt, snow,(when i can find it) rocks, etc. I really liked the Krawlers, but i hear they dont do to well in the mud or snow.. which is ok, because I dont see to much ouf that out here. but i also am told they have thin sidewalls, and can be sliced through easily. So, Ive been loking at Maxxis Creepy Crawlers in the 40x13.5x17 size. From everything that i read, they seem to do the trick, and they will give me another 3" over the Krawlers.
Does anyone here have any experience with thiese tires. ?
or should I just stay with the krawlers? The ones i have on there now are the blue label.
