53 inch tall tire on m35

[juspar]

OK thinking of getting a m35a3 shop truck. I know they have the 46 inch super singles. Was wondering if you can run the 53 inch tall tires and what mods you have to do? I know they sell wheel inserts for the 5 ton wheels to convert them. Not loking to bobb the truck. Going for one big bad ass camper/ tow truck. I have seen the 5 tons with the 53 but not the 2 1/2 ton.

They do not have the 46s. No 53s won't fit. Put a 109 box on an M818 is the only way to get that.

[juspar]

yes i am sure it has. search m35 53 tire and or anything close to that and see how much bull crap comes up. Would it just be nice to say...... hey you cant do that it wont fit. good luck. Hope i am not useing up to much of the INTERNET.

No chance in towing anything with a deuce and 53s. Most folks I talk to wouldn't do it again. Are you thinking of the multi powered deuce or the Cat powered deuce? The m109a3 is a multi. You might get away towing with the 818 cause it has a cummins, I doubt the A3 or A4 would do very well.

New guy??? Look again.
We all have been asked to help police the site since day 1.

You have to understand, we get the same question a couple times a week and it wears on a lot of us. It is what it is, some are more cranky than others, even I am guilty.

Just my opinion my A3 on 53`s does very well driving around. No I have not tried to pull anything I feel the power is there if needed...

You are the first I know of with a Cat and 53s, its good to get some feed back. My LDS powered deuce feels like a hot rod, but when I tow a deuce or 5ton, its slow.

cry me a ****ing river.

And who are you to tell me what to do?

if you dont like what i say, block me.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Well...

Cat motor. At the most it would be 10,000 to 12,000 pounds. The super singles will work. Just like the look of a big truck with a big tire. Plus the added top speed. Yes i know it robs your power. Never had a deuce just think it would be a cool project.
