Choices of tires for 1010 & 1031

[docfarmall]

WONDERING WHICH TIRES TO PUT ON WHICH TRUCK 8X17.5 DUALS OR 37X12.50X16.5 and how much lift would one think about putting under them . I am thinking the duals on the 1031 and the 37's on the 1010. any ideaers???

 

[Shrapnel]

My M1010 is on 37's with no lift. Requires some decent trimming, but I've had no rubbing issues. I'm already thinking the 37's look too small...

 

[docfarmall]

Yours looks good on them saw it at GA. ralley looks great i think i will lift it with some m200 springs front and rear .

Put 255/85 R16's on my 1008 and father in laws 1028. Summit mud dawg's.... no issues and a very aggressive tread with load range E These are basicly a 34X10.50X16 that fit up nicely.... going to do the BFG next time I think in the same size... not a lot out there in 255/85. Not too wide for the 6" wheel and about 1/2 taller than the 285/75

Yesterday we decided on the 37's fpr the M1010 started cuttin stuff loose then today headed to the spring shop for ubolts and centre pins and what we got tonight was three corners done with only one to go in the morning. Thanks to some help of some friends the lifting went sweet all springs no blocks . We use springs out of a M200 trailer . they are same width and staked in perfectly.

Then when someone looks in the rearview they'll see this mean stance:

Now to figure out how far off the speedo will be.

 

[Shrapnel]

How wide are your wheels? It looks like your sidewalls are stretched out pretty far.

What kind of backspacing do they have, too?

 

[Shrapnel]

My speedometer is only off by about 10%. So, 50 = 55, etc. Not much. I checked with GPS.

 

[docfarmall]

12" wheels

 

[docfarmall]

hummm figured it woulda been more than that.

 

[docfarmall]

The end results MONSTERMASH

 

[docfarmall]

A couple more

Lift and tires

I got excited when I saw that.....nice look. Did you lift yours to get the 37's to fit? Details

Wish we would have gone with a bigger tire because water still gets in with my 35's on. I get a little rub when in extreme terrain but the tires are 315 70R 17 Dunlop Rover and might be wide. This 1010 has a 4" lift.

We're around the 10% mark for speedo too and if someones not aware, doesn't drive by RPM sound, then over revving can occur.

Looking great with the new rubber man.
I think your wheels would look great with a fresh coat of black on them too.
Just my .

Thanks to a friend i no i no Doc dont got no friends but i pay him well so he's cool. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Next is the winch and bumper.

Doc, thats looks badazz! Did you already have the M200 springs, or did you purchase them for the M1010? If you bought them for it, can I ask where, and ballpark cost? im looking to lift my M1010 also, eventually going to 36-40" tires(undecided how extreme I want to go with it), and I looking for an economical alternative to an over the counter or custom built liftkit, without drastic sacrifices in ride quality or weight carrying capacity. had been considering 4-6" springs upfront, with 0 rate kit, and possibly a 2" add-a-leaf, for the rear to keep stockish ride a 4" shackle flip, and 2" add-a-leaf and/or 0 rate kit if needed. I dont mind trimming the fender openings on the box since I'm seriously leaning towards cutting the lower fins off to make the box straight acrossed on the bottom, but I dont want to do any trimming on the front fenders since they're about perfect shape. If money wasn't so tight, I'd love to go with a Desert Prerunner-style Flared fiberglass fender, which would give more room with less lift, and no rubbing even when flexed out offroad. Any info is greatly appreciated!! And Shrapnel, your M1010 is b%&chin too, and a twin to mine, minus the mods you've done!! Mine was a Pa. S.W.A.T. truck, and the main feature that made me go to look at it, and then buy it, was the gunlocker that the P.D. had already installed (one mod i planned on anyway, they just saved me the cost and hassle!) Plowboy, we've talked before, so you already know i dig your ride!
