    Pic thread? Looking for m1008's with minimal lift.

    If you can find them there are now Goodyear MT/R's of the first 2000's tread style and BFG BAJA TA in a mud like tread for HMMWV's. THey're the new tires on HMMWV's and are replacing all the older bias plies and radials. Both are 37x12.5R16.5. For various reasons some have been released to...

    You can bend the edge over, tack on a new edge, reinforce it, even seen guys weld rod onto the edge. I just left it in place with no flapping. It's sheet metal, not paper. I just repainted mine and called it good. Didn't drive it in road salt so it held up fine.

    Yes. I had 255/85R16's (33x10ishR16) Load Range D's on my '96 Ranger 4x4 and I never could get it to align right (partly my fault, partly Ford's) and despite that I was over 15k miles with lots of tread depth left. I wasn't past 40%. I was planning on at least 40k out of them. Sold the truck...

    I had a set (different size) and loved them. How's the width of those 37's?

    Yeah, lots of variables and you do have a boat anchor (weight wise) of an engine in there. I always laugh when people say they have a 6" lift and then start assuming it really is 6".

    That's weird. That's mine fitting under a 7' door at my old house.

    Pic thread? Looking for m1008's with minimal lift.

    Eh, dunno about that. With the gearing it's about like 3.73's and 32-33's on a stock truck. If you expect the performance of a warmed up small block or a big block...you'll be disappointed...if you just expect the performance of a 6.2L it's not bad. I found that instead of bouncing it off the...

    You said side tread above, not side wall. My issue is height. It'll be a long time before I can have a pole barn or garage with a door and ceiling high enough to fit Big Ugly with 4" of suspension lift. As it is now mine clears a true 7' door jamb with about 1.5" of space.

    Uhm, the side lugs should touch the ground. The tread should roll flat across the ground at driving psi, not just aired down. Tires aren't meant to be so over inflated they're round even on the bottom. You're not one of those guys driving around with big ass tires running 30-40psi in them...

    Pic thread? Looking for m1008's with minimal lift.

    Yeah, cause I don't know a bunch of folks who have run wide tires on narrower rims for tens of thousands of miles or so... The proper pressure is a matter of vehicle weight distribution + tire size + rim width. You have to find that out yourself...it's not a sticker on the door. FWIW about 8...

    I have 11.00R16 Michelin XL's (38x11ishR16's) on stock GMC 2007 16" steel wheels with 1" of front lift via ORD Zero Rates and fender cutting and trimming. Works well but I am going to relocate the front axle an inch or so forward. No, they don't.
