Now that winter appears over, I took yesterday off work to finish painting all the wheels and adjusting the brakes. Here are some pics of my 109A3. The only unique things I did due to the wheels were modify the spring shims (Gringletaube mod) from a 4 degree to a 1 degree angle (cant remember...

I think you might be right. Gringletaube and I just recently learned that there are a couple different spring seats out there. It appears most are about a 4 degree shim.... but some are 8-9 degree. So the generic method of removing 5/32 (the gringletaube method) is intended for the 4 degree shim.

Hey Bones, How do you put a lockout on the center axle? Have you found any threads on this? I never questioned it until I actually flipped my hubs and pulled the rear axles. After seeing them I dont know how a lockout would mount, I assume you must need a new axle shaft right? Just curious

Bones, I gave this some thought after your message but just couldnt think of any good way to make new correctly angled (or adjustable) perches for a price reasonable enough to entice folks to buy verses just getting the grinder out or buy the shim kits. But you did motivate me to add this as...

Hi Bones, thanks for the kind words. I actually am a bit behind you. I honestly havent even driven the truck with the wheels yet. Originally had sold my own adapter plates so it took a while before I had some for me again. Other than that I was slowly collecting tools & parts (big torque...

Yes, just a t-50 staple gun is what I used. You just want to put the staple in about 23" up from the ground on each tire which should be your axle centerline with these 46" tires, measure across to the other wheel's staple and record it, then roll it forward/backward until the staples are again...

I did the same thing but rather than screws I just stapled into the centerpoint of the tire, it gave enough of an edge for the tape measure to catch on and pulled out easy when I was done.

I would think it should be about the same as what the recentered HEMTT wheel guys run with 395's wouldnt it?... not that i know what that pressure is though. I'll stay tune to the answer myself on this one. LOWTECH, what kind of pressures do you run on & off road? Also looking for some good...

Looks good bones! ...also good job talking the neighbor lady into helping:)
