5-ton low rider

[scvfd901]

has anybody out there tried to run 9.00-20 duals on a m939? if so how did it affect gearing and load capacity? a 939 0n 14.00s is to tall to fit through my garage door but 9.00s should make the difference. i know a bigger door is the best plan but it may not be an option

What about the off chance the truck ends up silly looking?

Is this the effect you are looking for only on a 5 ton???

Doh!

 

[rrrr]

not what I would choose to do.

 

[gimpyrobb]

I would think it would neuter the truck.









WTF!!!!!??????
Why can't I add pics?















Edit, found a way around it.

Heck you would hit your pumpkin tryin to hop a curb with 9.00s I think. Or the weight alone on the front would flatten em.

Isnt the part of having a 5 ton so that your bigger and meaner lookin that the other guy? Not a big body on tires that look like they belong on a go cart.

at 4600lbs max per tire I think the fronts just might get flattened!

You need air ride suspension

 

[Hooty481]

are you gonna leave them on there the whole time or just for being able to work on it in your garage

Lift the garage rather than lowering the truck.

yah i didnt think it would work either. the reason for doing it was that it would be a fire truck and have to be kept inside when not in use maybe now i can talk the chief into making the door bigger thanks for the feed back

 

[Varyag]

I think there is only a 4 or 5 inch difference in total height too so it would only drop the truck about 2 inches. I could be wrong.'

-edit- opps I thought you were talking about 11x20s.

lowering the floor, not the truck!

 

[TacticalDoc]

couldnt you just deflate the tires?

 

[quickfarms]

How tall is the door you are trying to clear?

Keep the larger tires. Let the air out to get it into the garage.
