    Let the Bobbing begin

    Yes, we did it to stop the rubbing with 395s in the front. Doing this sets the tire out 7 inches. Plus I really like the look. Kind of reminds me of the old steel slotted mags. Also its cheaper than hemmt wheels. We should have the whole set soon. Then we will strip and paint them and I will...

    Let the Bobbing begin

    The rear axle is painted and the hubs are flipped. We will be putting in new seals and rebuilding the wheel cylinders this week. The springs and mounts should be ready this week also. Its nice to be reassembling the truck. Its been a long winter.

    First Post & Bob starts this weekend! Lots of ???

    The 11.00x20 will fit fine no need to raise the bed. You are pretty much right on removing the axles. We like to torch off the rivet heads on the side plates and pop them off then torch the rivets on the frame put a big bottle jack on the spring pivot bar and with some persuasion she will pop...

    Harleighguy I appreciate your concern. Its good to know other people are as concerned about safety as I am.The centers were just machined out. The wheelhoop wasnt touched and the weld is not on the splitring lock. I have also seen someone killed by a splitring improperly attached when I was in...

    395's mounted, how to fix rubbing?

    We got our first wheel back from the machine shop with the center flipped . Running it this way offsets the wheel 7 inches out from the original wheel. We should have the full set soon and will mount them on our next bobbed unit with 395s. You could also flip the wheel back around, split ring to...

    I agree the recentered hemmitt wheels are expensive. These should be a lot less expensive.

    Let the Bobbing begin

    We just got back our first recentered deuce wheel from our machine shop. These have an offset of 7 more inches than the stock wheel. We are using M34 wheels with 395s for this bobbed unit, but the next one will have these with 395s they wont rub at all with these. We also are planning on...
