can you put 52" tires on a Deuce

Can you put 52" tires on a deuce if you bob it or what might you have to do to get them to fit

 

[patracy]

You'd have to lift it as well as bob it to get 52's to fit. You can squeeze 47's under a stock deuce.

Here's some pics of the deuce that showed up at Rausch Creek last month on 16.00x20s. It looked...topheavy...

 

[krall]

yeah it does look top heavy, nice looking though.

Possible, yes. Easy, no. Several have done it but this is one of the best I have seen.

you should just get a 5 ton and some hemmit rims

Uh, IMHO that deuce looks a bit goofy with 52" tires

What he said.

It takes a lot of power (from an already underpowered truck) to get those big wheels moving.

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

cant be top heavy with 53's on the bottom......lol

 

[OldDominionIron2]

Yes, you can.

 

[srodocker]

the deuce with the 52's looks like a big puppy with giant feet that he doesnt know how to use

I lifted the body three inches on mine to get the engine to fit but there seems to be enough room under the fenders for a bigger tire these are 48s on it now.

 

[GPappy]

Yes, you can.

That truck looks like it needs some lift. It looks like a speed bump could take out the fenders.

 

[JeffAS]

I came across a good deal on some 52" but it look like it would more truble than the saving

 

[JeffAS]

nice

Yes, you can.

What did you have to do to put 52" under your deuce?

That truck belongs to a friend of mine. He bought from a guy in GA and drove it back to VA (900 miles). I'll get hold of him and have him jump in here with more details.

Clark is a member here and built that lifted bobbed deuce. It was taller than it was wide, but he ran it on tough trails at Rausch Creek and it worked great.

52" are just to big IMHO. They look dandy on a 5 ton though. The deuce is just a little to small/underpowered for something like that. I also prefer the dual rear look though. I think 14.00x20 duals (that may not be correct) are what I like. See picture:

i helped build the Ga to Va truck with another list member on here. We used the USA 6x6 rims so im not sure of the backspacing but we didnt lift it an inch. The exhaust tube has to be rerouted as the tire will eat it in turns. The truck will not perform worth a crap but it will fit and we wheeled it through some pretty rough stuff and didnt get into the fenders.

IMHO you need to stick with the 395's max and use a lockout hub.

I not only think too heavy to get moving but try stopping at speed !!!
