You Guys gotta see this!
Scored some 44-18.50's CHEAP!Truck's going under the knife this winter for the long awaited I ton swap (60 front,14 bolt rear).
Thanks to B2 addict I found some 15x10 wheels with the 5 on 4.5 pattern(for a awesome deal I may add).I had to put them on the truck.
Here is the results................The 8.8 started crying..........The poor little 28 crapped itself and tried to flee from under the truck in terror(the jack held firm and stopped the escape).
The rusults................Sorry for the shaky camera......it was raining and I was soaked after mounting these boat anchors.
Just a little bit taller

looks like a perfect fit! thats gonna look pretty awesome when you get the new axles under it
 
I wonder how long those axles would last...
 
You're right it does look like the TTB is trying to escape lol. So what do you get out of that like 5 Degrees of steering in each direction? lol
 
Put it in 4 low and see how long you can go.

Between the Tires changing the gear so high and the 2600 Stall converter,I'll probably have to use low just to move it......;missingteeth;;missingteeth;!

I wonder what the gear is now?How can you figure it backwards?:icon_confused:
3.73 to 2.10....lol.:icon_rofl:
 
I'm gonna do the cuts for the front Bush Whackers this weekend,should give me some room to turn.I have to be able to move it or I would take it out to the logging roads and see how long the front and rear would last.
 
Thanks for the mention my good sir, I sure do like those wheels ya got there! :icon_thumby: Can't wait to see her done! :icon_cheers:
 
LOL, it looks so perfect because the body at the wheel wells is resting on the tires, LOL
