Road Trip

[jfnemt1ff1]

While today I went on a road trip to pick up some 395s, I just had to have some. 700 miles later I have my prize I got 6 with great tread and 1 for a spare. My poor dodge had to work hard on the trip back, wind and tires those things weigh a ton. Now I have to get them mounted Monday I hope. Will post more pics once on the truck.

Those are going to look cool. I wish I could find some around NC.
Post some pics when you get those monsters mounted.

I know the feeling about having to have them. i traveled 1000 miles round trip after working all day to get mine. Your going to love them. I bought tires and rims when i did it.

I got my tires on today, wish I did it a long time ago. The truck rides better,lower rpm, and looks great. It evens feels like it has power steering. My wife took some pics but she said that it was to cold to get out of the truck. I will take some better ones later. I was going to do the rear hub flip after I got the tires on but I like the way it looks now.

I thought there was some reason you couldn't mount the tires like that on the hubs, or weren't suppose to. I've always seen singled out trucks without the hubs flipped oriented facing in.

It doesn't really matter, the loads on the bearings are gonna be one way or the other.

But if you flip them, you can make the front & back track the same

Used stock tubes they seem to work fine.

Looks great! Did you happen to take any b4 and after measurements? Bumper height- axle clearance? with 9.00-20s then with the 395s?
Now that i see those tires on the stock wheels i might be able to purchase them!
