So I was talking to a friend of mine today, and found out that he's selling some big tires and axles. I happen to be looking for some, but I'm not sure if I want to go this big. He's got a H.D D44 and a ford 10.25 rear diff, with brand new wheels and 39.5X13.5 Iroks. He'll sell me the whole package for 2G's. I have a set of springs that will give me the height I need, and I've got a V8 drivetrain ready to be swapped in, but I was only planning on going 35's or maybe 37's. Are 39.5's and full width diffs too big? is there such a thing as too big?

Thought I'd add... My friend is building a stretched Jeep YJ on a shortened 3/4 tonne Ford frame, with a 7.3 Turbo Diesel. He was going to be running the 39.5's but he got a deal on a set of unimog portal axles and he's going to be running something in the 44-54" range.

no

This is a 100% correct statement!

with a SWB Montero and 39's I dont think you'll be having any problems with your break-over angle. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

why is it that im picturing one of those "stompers truck" toys from the 80's? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

I'm a little worried about the tires rubbing together under the doors though. lol. I haven't quite decided what to do yet, I was hoping to keep the raider streetable enough to drive to and from the trails, as I don't have a tow vehicle or trailer. I think the monster truck stance may attract a little attention from the law. I'm trying to talk another friend into buying them and selling me his waggy axles and 38x11 boggers, he's been talking about going bigger for a while now, and his set up would work well in my raider.

No but keep a eye on the tip-o-meter <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

May be a little wide.



95 Rodeo on a J10 Dana 44. Sure is stable though.

No such thing.

Needs bigger tires, and more lift.

This from the man on 35s. Those are 37s works fine for around here. Comr to uwharrie end of the month and see.
