So our little 40 has bounced around several cruiser shops and has landed w trollhole. Lots of headaches w 2F rebuilds, so we opted for a crate GM V8. This started the domino effect that led to Atlas case, NV4500, Saginaw, SOA, and 99% sure we'll go w Dynatrac axles cut to 60" WMS. Never had this much power in anything, so it's a little exciting to imagine what we'll have in the end. My question to you guys is this.... do 37 inch radials behave well on the road? I know 35s do or can, because my 80 has them. I've considered the 36 irok radial, but may want something more DD friendly. Any suggestions or advice on 35 vs 37 would be appreciated. I've exhausted my searches and decided to start this thread in hopes of additional info/advice. This 40 has been framed off and will not be a rock bouncer. It will be a cruiser, capable of driving long distance w occasional camping/trail riding for now. Why did we build it so tough? We wanted something that would have power and be hard to break. She's been in shops for the past 5 years. When trollhole gets her done, I have faith we can avoid breakdowns and minimize future shop time/down time. This is a cruiser that me, 45 yrs old, and my dad, 72 yrs old, have designed and dreamed of having for years. I'm just hung up on what tire to run. Pretty sure we will go w TR 17x9 beadlook wheels, for what it's worth. Thanks cruiser heads!
