Looks great! Big fan of the larger tire combo. Must be fun in the snow

I have avm lockout hubs on the front axle good eye.

Sorry, but the stack is just WAY too big.Tires are nice, like the rims.
God bless,
Tony

I also agree on the stack it is to tall.
I'll be cutting out a foot off the bottom so it fits closer to the cab, and I will be cutting a flame pattern on the turn out tip possibly, what do you think?

To tell you the truth, I haven't really drove it since I mounted the tires last week. The batteries were weak and froze on me and are now no good. I have to get new batteries before I can drive. We're suppose to get 6 inches of snow tomorrow. Hopefully I can source out some new ones tomorrow. I have been looking for the big military square ones for some time now. The car batteries just don't have the capacity to turn over the engine well enough anymore.

That would probably work out good. Gonna Photo shop it first to see how it will appear? Adapt, Modify, survive! LOL
God bless,

Im no expert, and I know each truck is a bit unique/ different when it comes to starting characteristics, but here's what I have on my truck and she has no trouble cranking ever ( knock on wood). I bought mine at Pep Boys. Bosch Premium Power, Part # 65-850B CCA @ 0F: 850 CA @ 32F: 1000
I want to say they were approx $130 each. Far cheaper than the military batteries I priced to be around $350 plus....

new batteries

I bought these at napa for $104 each 1140ca 950cca. I will have to build a new battery box to hold them though. They are 1/2 inch to long to fit in the original box.

When you mounted the 395's on the stock M35A3 rims, how much space is between the rear tires. And, if you have a heavy load, do they get closer?

 

[Hoefler]

I have an A3 with Goodyear 395's on Hemtt wheels. No issues and about 2 inches between them. Have had her loaded down with about 6,000 pounds of steel-no issue.

What about them mounted on the stock M35A3 wheels?

A3 Wheels with Large tires

Here are a few photos of a truck I have recently sold. It had big Michelins mounted on A3 wheels. No rubbing on that either. The larger tires really changes the way they drive-much better.
