Helga, My 88 B2 Build...

[danger88ranger]

The tires will most likely rub on the bottom 1 1/2 inches of the fender. I know i had the same problem with mine, how wide are you rims?

Where will they rub now?? I've flexed it out and no rub anywhere. They're 7" rims.

Thanks for the tip Loanranger, I don't really see myself spinning them at full stuff but I'll keep it in mind!

No problem man, I know how it feels to lay down cash on some tires, and then gouge them up. It sucks. Those look really good on your rig, and I'm sure you'll love the traction. I've got the same tires on Fordzuki, and ran them at 3-5 pounds for the first few trips out, then once the sidewalls started flexing, I ran them up to 10 pounds. 10 lbs seems to be about the right pressure to keep your diff clearance, but still let the tires wrap around rocks and stuff. This is on a 1500 lb rig though, so you might want to go for 12 or a little more once the sidewalls break in.

Hell, with my 33" procomp, Sombody let all the air out of them at my school (don't you hate punks?...) and there was maybe 2 psi in them and it hardly looked like they were low... I'm not joking either. I didn't notice it untill I got home (only a mile from school to my house at 25mph)

I need onboard air, it would be so nice to air down the tires and or fill a flat etc. Sounds like a summer project!

My bad, i didn't take into consideration you had 7" rims, the 2.9 still have power?

 

[Hahnsb2]

Nah, it's a pig with the 34s.
I bought a Lincoln MIG welder last week. I'm reworking my front bumper to accept my Warn winch. I also plan on sliders too.

 

[Hahnsb2]

Got my winch mounted up. Needs more welds on the back side but I ran outta wire. I also added large mounting plates that bolt to the side of the frame rails instead of the wimpy tabs that bolt in the stock location.

My welder.

 

[Loanranger]

Looks good. I'm thinking I'll probably do something like that to the sides of my dads sometime soon. Just built the winch cradle for now, but I've always liked that style of bumper.

 

[rickcdewitt]

looks good,how much did the front squat?

 

[Hahnsb2]

I don't think it really made it squat hardly at all, I'd guess the winch weighs less than 70LBs, but man the winch combined with the bumper is one heavy SOB to lift in place. My camber was a hair positive, if anything it helped with that.

 

[rickcdewitt]

the stiff stock springs are good for something i guess,now we both need to work on getting some good recovery pics with the swampers on

 

[Hahnsb2]

I've got 3" duff brackets and coils for up front but those will prolly wait a while. I hooked up the winch and spooled the cable out and respooled it all nice and neat so no more birds nest shit.

I'm thinking a look alike of stumpy?

 

[Hahnsb2]

Pulled the bumper off yesterday and got all the welding on the back side finished up and added light tabs to the top tube.

looks great
