Breaking in the 35s a bit

[babysilk]

Some new pictures of my last wheelin/fishing trip. Stuck to the main trail pretty much but just went out with my sister and some friends with their trucks to the top of saddleback mountain.

how was the rubbing? im so jelly you have 35s. im getting 33s this month. i talked my dad up, hopefully. haha

 

[babysilk]

There is VERY little rubbing at full lock but it's nothing major. I still have plenty of room to stuff them up in the wheelwell when flexing. I couldn't be happier!

I'm so happy to hear you're liking the 35's! i'm going with the same setup
and was a little nervous they might be too big. How does your truck run with that size tire? I won't be doing a lot of mountain driving but when I do it'a about 6000 feet of elevation change. I'm pricing out some 4.56 gears right now.

I wouldnt worry that they will be too big. I have plenty of room and barely rub on the frame at full lock of the steering wheel. It makes your truck sit up a bit higher which I love(especially in southern californias traffic) and overall, I couldnt be happier. My truck isnt struggling to keep up with them and as of right now I dont see any reason for me to swap gears.

 

[edinphx]

What gears do you have? also what motor? i'm running 3.55's and a 4.6

 

[walnuts4x4]

gears... who needs them...lol I do.... still have the stock 3.73 with my 37s... but babysilk... looks good

 

[babysilk]

h9 axle, so 3.55 gears and lsd. I have the 5.4l

walnuts- Thankyou!

 

[edinphx]

Well it looks great!
Do you have a spare tire anywhere? Probably no chance of putting a 35
where the stock spare is stored.

[robuilt]

awesome!

 

[panda24619]

you can put a 35 under there but its a tight fit. a 34.5 is a little better fit. at full flex did it rub at all?

 

[babysilk]

My undercarriage hoist broke before I got 35s so I just have my spare in the rear cargo area. I didnt notice any rubbing at full flex. I built some rock sliders the other day panda, havent had a chance to try those out though yet. It was a quick Idea and I have no idea if they will work the way I want. Thanks guys

 

[edinphx]

I noticed you have your running boards removed. Would you have any rubbing issues if they were installed? i was hoping to keep them on.

[babysilk]

I don't THINK you would have an issue but maybe someone more knowledgable can chime in!

Looks like fun.
