I was hoping for some pic's of your unit!!

I have often thought about getting a crazy graphic vinyl wrap fo my T, but its just too pricey!!

now post pic's of yours!!

Well lift fits like a charge but ran into an unforeseen issue.. So I'm stuck in Austin for the night.. Will see what tomarrow has in store.. Ohh did I mention I'm hoofing it everywhere I go lol

 

[RamRod]

Ah $h!tty deal! Hope you can figure that out.... What ever that issue is

Hope it wasn't a wheel issue.

That's exactly what it is!!!!! When I bought these wheels I explained I needed a 5.0 back spacing so a Rancho lift would fit.. The wheel shop that sold them told me these would work.. Welllll they don't.. After searching I found that there back spacing is actually 5.71 and the knuckle rubs. So I had to stay over night and I'm now waiting until 9am for a offroad shop to open to buy 1/4 spacers...

Side note: Frumaker is an outstanding guy. Chatted with me to help by some time and was willing to get up and out of the house to help me find spacers... He is the man..

I can't remember what my backspace is, but I went with the motor sport tech 1.25". I put them on and rechecked them, they were still tight. They were also long enough to put on and not cut off any of the wheel studs. I'd stay away from the slip on spacers if you can unless you put them on just to get by. Also mine were hubcentric. I can run 80mph with no vibration. Honestly I can't tell any difference with them other than visually and I like the looks of the slightly wider stance.

At this point I have to buy what the store has to get me home.. The. I can come up with a more perm solution!!!

Rancho lift.
American Eagle 17x9s with -11.2mm offset
35" BFG KM2s

The fit looks like this...


Wheel info right off the box...


I've run 80mph with and without hubcentric wheels...doesn't seem to make a difference. The lug nuts center the wheel.

BTW...these same wheels fit the stock Dana 44 6-lug front axle. They don't stick out any further with the SA than they did with the Rancho. They look like this with 37"s...

This is with 35s. The tape is at the bottom of the tread blocks. I think my hub center to fender was about 26.5". It rides nose up just a little.
