Yes, the stock duece stuff.

I might be cutting the centers out so I can weld them into the tractor rims but if I dont I'll let you know.

 

[LonesomeSTX]

I am still interested in the tires at least.

 

[brnrubr4ever]

you can have them when Im done. only 2 are good enough to use though other 2 are peeling

By the time those tires are on the axles they'll be well over a foot away from any body panels.

whats the point of the sub frame(truss or whatever you want to call it) if its not linked? i know theres other ways to re-enforce the frame without taking away so much clearance.

just curious.

It is going to be linked. not a 4 link but I will have link bars to keep the axles from wrapping. Also for the simple fact that I wanted to be sure the frame was not going to twist. I will have about 2800 lbs of un-sprung weight and I dont want thing breaking. I dont think I will have a clearance issue as the bottom of the subframe will be at around 48". I also built it so that one day when I have $5000 for coilovers and 4 links I can do that.
