    395/85r20's

    The fronts are what rub. I believe on the J pipe on the passenger side and the shock mount and maybe even the frame on the drivers side. I dont mind the look of the tires on the wheels its just the sway that bothers me. I will start searching but has anybody used longer studs on the front and...

    Lol yea I forgot. Oh well next time I have some heavy lifting I will give you a call... And I might have some. I sure dont want to go to napa vine without pulling apart the front axle and checking the bearings. But atlas, no parts yet. Maybe this weekend

    Thinking about using A3 wheels

    How would one interpret the question as to not have the question be answered by gimpy? Or is it that you interpreted his answer diferently that I?

    395/85r20's

    They are rated to 100. Im going to air up a bit see if it helps a little. I guess I should shop for some new rims. I dont like the rubbing either but they will do for now

    Oh, any if you running this setup found a good tire pressure? Im running like 45 in the rears and about 57 in the front. It seems to sway around quite a bit. I will adjust them a bit to get a more stable feeling but any input would be great

    395/85r20's

    Yea my tire guy has been a tire guy for like 16 years and the duck bill was the first thing he brought out...... However after about 35 swings that were clearly of a skilled person he threw it down and said a few curse words about it not even budging thats when the slide hammer came out. I can...

    395/85r20's

    I dont have a picture of the actual one used. It was pretty unsightly. Had been "repaired" a few times.. But it looked very similar to this one.... They are about 5 feet long and about a 50 or 60 pounds..

    Yea I got a pretty junky goodyear with my purchase. I was only going to do the bare minimum for now.. Next week Ill get it mounted! After my back and arm feel better. Picking those tires up when the concrete is covered in soapy water is quite the workout. The tire is sliding around when it half...

    395/85r20's

    I got my 395s on today, so I figured I would share with the class. I will start off by saying that a "tire slide hammer was the absolute key to removing my old 9.00's. An excavator smashing the tire while I beat the bead with a pick and pieces of angle with a sledge and it would not budge it...

    Safe to pull 12v from one battery of the four in M820?

    Ok, when you have 2 12v batterys that are being charged at 14.4v and you run them in series to get 24v for the starter the voltage of both batterys always stays the same. 2 12v batterys being charged at say 28v and pulling 12 volts off one of them causes one battery to be at a lower voltage. so...

    Hey these really aren't too bad... The worst part about the whole thing is lifting the wheel and tire up when its flat on the ground and I imagine it wouldn't be so bad of my right arm wasn't broke (not a fracture, it just isn't working correctly thus being broke) as soon as I get one of them...

    Yea Im missing a grunt as well. I sure hope its easy putting the 395s on the rims. Im also hopping that after they are put together the will magicly get lighter..... Oh well the paint should be dry, lets see how bad my HOPES will be crushed

    Im pretty sure the rubber and the rim has fused on a molecular level and will never seperate. I think I will just start cutting tires off :neutral:
