    395's and hubs on my Deuce ! What I think about the upgrade.

    Well I did the upgrade. My thoughts: 1. Would I do it again ............. YES 2. Road speed is now 55mph vs. 47mph at 2100 rpm 3. Ride is smoother just a little more bounce to it. I'll play with tire pressures. 4. Did a speedometer adapter change to compensate for the difference and the...

    A3 rims on an A2

    So I'm considering the change and am wondering if these rims offer any advantages/disadvantages over the HEMMIT rims that have been converted. I'm planning on flipping the rear hubs so all the rims can be the same. What about a spare. Just have a tire and do a change on the truck or have a...

    speedometer adapter for 395/85r20 tires?

    I know that there are adapters for the 11-20's to correct the speedometer at the transfer case. What about going with the 395/85r20's, does an adapter exist for those? I am considering the super single setup and would like an accurate speedometer. I don't want to go the GPS route if I don't...
