I really like them so far. I haven't done much over 30 around the local area, but they handle MUCH better than the NDCCs. Steering is easier, the ride is more smooth, and it handles better. The wheel doesn't return to center as fast as it did, but it's good.

I've finally gotten the tires done, and most of the other axle work finished! The Deuce has a new set of shoes!

A 12 ton bottle jack and 6 ton jack stands. I'm using pieces of 2x12 for a base for the stands and jack.

It actually wasn't bad at all, until I got to the lugs that Soldier 2 ran on with a Superman torque wrench. The longest amount of time was taken cleaning and painting the wheels. I was anticipating that it would be a lot more worse than it turned out to be.

I'm not actually mounting them. Luckily they came on the rim. I'm just cleaning them up and putting them on. Unfortunately I have hit a snag. The last dual lugs were put on entirely too tight. I got all of the outside lugs off, and 5 of the inner thimbles using a deuce lug wrench and six foot...

Tire change underway! Here are a few shots from the tire change. I have 4 out of 10 mounted. I'm hoping to finish the others tomorrow.

Here are a couple of pics of the unload procedure. They'll have to do until I get them mounted up! :-D

They're Goodyear 11.00 x 20. I'll get the model numbers when I get home. I'll get some pics up after I get them mounted, hopefully by the weekend or so....

I picked up 11 Goodyear tires on rims, from member jappel's compound, in 80% or better shape! Now it's out with the old, in with the new! Thanks to Jason for the tires, and John for the help. Truly good people. Between the tire change and my air brake switch upgrade kit, I can't wait to get...
