Trying out 46" Mickey Thompson on my 80

[Kjartanbj]

Had the opportunity to try on my friends 46" MT

found out that If i decide to go from 44" to 46" I have to do very little work
Fender flares are wide enough, only have to do litle cutting in the front to eliminate rubbing when flexing the suspension, and maybe getting stronger gears at least 9.5"

Maybe in the future when tires for 15" wheels will be harder to get

They fit like they belong on your rig.

Flares seem ok to me but it maybe the angle of the picture.

What size are those wheels?

 

[Kjartanbj]

16inch, My 44" DC are mounted on 15" wheels

Wow that is an awesome rig!!! what axles are you running and how much lift?

 

[Kjartanbj]

Stock Axles , no body lift only cutting , and airbags front and rear , Im not really sure how much suspension lift it is

Stock Axles have been working well, as we mainly drive on snow here when wheeling
but I would have to get bigger Ring/pinion than stock 8.5 if I would go 46"

They get better traction that way. Lots of guys run them like that.
