agreed

 

[Kyle M.]

what was wrong with your old sliders? And do you have any pics from the back tire looking forward so I can see what its like with full width in front and spacers in back?

I got a couple quick ones with the phone, it was getting dark so they kinda suck, mehh, I will get you some better ones.

Hey Kyle, how do you like the air shocks, and what brand are they/specs? They seem to be holding up alright so far.

*edit* Wow, that's full width? Can't be... really? Already? My tires stick out further on the D35 and 8.8 without spacers.

 

[MountainMike]

Well the D35 is wider than the D28 you pulled out so that would explain that. Although on my truck my tires stick out just as much as Kyle's, you running high backspacing on those rims?

 

[Andres629]

Not really... I think about a 4" backspace.

 

[MountainMike]

Not really... I think about a 4" backspace.

I was talking about Kyle's truck

4" seems about average, I think I may be running pretty low back spacing though, like 3"-ish, I never got around to measuring them. I just know they are less than the other truck which had something like 3.75".

I was talking about Kyle's truck

Ha! Whoops.

 

[Grunizzle]

Yeah you can't even tell you don't have a full width rear. How much back spacing are your wheels?

 

[MountainMike]

Doesn't look much wider than my truck...

Keep up the awesomeness Kyle

Yeah, I like them alot, Fox shox 16" 2.0. They hold up great so far.

My rear axle in that picture is a regular ranger 8.8 with 2" spacers on both sides. My rims are 4" backspace and are 8" wide so it looks narrow, but outside to outside it measures about 76"- 77"

4" backspace, 8" wide

see above about rims, and that isn't full width yet.

I'm gonna go get better pictures.
