I havent heard of that problem but it makes sense. Seems shimming gives more pressure on spring, more fuel pressure and more rpm so by almost doubling flow you would lose some pressure and possibly some rpm.

I still have the 425/65R22.5's for front but had already sold the duals off truck before finishing the bob, thats why I had the 425's in the back squeezed on wrong size rims lol. I had planned to keep a set of the 11r20's to switch out on truck but had no luck selling them individual so sold all...

yeah its bob'd in that photo but I did have the fronts on while truck was still full size (when I was having problem of it sinking in soft field). The front wheels are the proper width ones from a cement truck that was also budd style wheels, the rears in that photo are just jammed on stock...

Rick, yeah I only know of 1 or 2 there is a gentleman on here with a truck he call infidel that is crew cab 923 if you search using that name I'm sure it will come up lol. I just wanted to post few pics of truck basically done,only major piece left is 2 rear shock mounts then just needs some...

I ran 425/65R22.5's on front of my 923, they are near exact match for height and they really helped keep front from sinking in and rutting up yard/field. I would actually sell you them but your pretty far away.

I was going to go higher at first but after measuring truck on level concrete it was already bit higher in rear than front so i didnt want it to look like some trucks with tail high up in air. I decided on the 1/2 plate since I had a piece laying around and had enough threads on U-bolts to just...

Ok so I got the bedsides both cut/welded and installed yesterday along with a .5" solid plate spacer for rear springs before deciding it was way too hot out.

I hope I didnt cause you a bunch of work with wrong info but was just trying to point out there MAY be a difference for the adapters, didnt want you to spend the money on adapters and have them not fit. The wheel bolt pattern may be same from mrap to MTVR I wasnt sure as I never got that...

yeah these pics are all at my parents house out in countryside I live on outskirts of town on dead end rd but still had problem with people turning me in for working on my house then problems with permits, then town says ok for one thing county says no etc. so I decided to keep truck at parents...

project is looking good, you cant go wrong with the trailer bed on a deuce in my mind I have always liked the look they have to them. Thats funny about tires I'll have to check mine now, I had actually posted a thread asking about the MTVR wheels since I found a place that had brand new never...

eh I dunno about almost done with it lol atleast all the big stuff is done, now I'm going to be doing some smaller stuff like cutting down bed sides (finally got my welder gas bottle filled) adding mud flaps, sealing cab up little better,moving batteries etc etc lol

I honestly dont know if the tires would even hit the bed, I have same bump stops in back as up front so I only have few inches of up travel, also the way I cut bed was I cut all the length out of the front of bed then just re-attached the headboard so the large crossmember that was between the...

I put together one pic with few of the wheels that I made to help 5 ton guys out so doesnt have deuce wheels but should help on identifying some wheels, easy way to tell is the 16.00's were not put on mraps originally so mrap wheels usually have 395's or 365's, also mrap wheels have a flat wheel...

I got rid of original setup but I do know they were wider spring and truck is already pretty heavy sprung in rear since springs are 5 ton fronts. The frame is actually nose down just a bit but with the larger front wheel wells it makes rear look like its sagging. (same springs and mounts front...

Yeah I will be adding a block to rear anyhow since it sits little nose high right now, lockouts would be nice but at the price I dont think I'll ever have a set. I will say truck turns so much shorter now that its bobbed its amazing.

Finally got my last michelin mounted up and got them on truck, took from 8am to 3pm lol. I had to have my dad use a 4 foot bar and a pipe wrench on the socket while I used impact with 2 air hoses T'd into it to get lug nuts off front. I really need to get wheels painted but thats for another...

looking good, you deuce guys get some lucky breaks since there are adapters avail for different wheels, 5 ton has less following for that. oh and just for future reference those are actually MTVR wheels not the mrap dunno if it makes a difference on the adapters.

truck is looking good, bobbing them is strange its alot of work but it really isnt at same time. just be glad you have something that can pick up the axles, my 923 5 tons were too heavy for my dads skid steer. also I hate to be the one to point this out but should this thread be in the 2.5ton...

on the rear axle you do not have to spin it and depending on your truck you may not have to remove it, I have seen few 923's with the abs sensors on the intermediate axle and so I thought I would just pull rear most one out however my abs was on rear axle. If your abs is on the rear axle like...

Yeah I have seen 6.0's blow the one head gasket without the engine temp ever showing anything over normal operating temps, i think when the cooler clogs you get a hot spot at one or two cylinders but not enough for the gauge to show since the rest are still normal. i will say i dont think it...
