i.vee seen trucks with 14,5s in the front and 11.00s in the back they look cool but duals dont do very good in mud or snow or rain or ........ singles rule duals drool. do they have a drooling smiley:?:

thread vs thread xls are a great all around tire .they have a higher weight rating than the ndts.11.00s came on them stock 14.5s are the same height as the 11.00s but give you a bigger contact patch.they are what they run on the a3 .you can get a xl xzl or xml in a 11.00.11.00s will give you a...

put some discs on the front it will stop better for less money than buying two five ton axles and new wheels to go with those axles

thats good to know i didnt know anyone made a stall convertor for those hydromatics

dont 5 ton axles have 6.44 or 6.14 ratios and a bobber is alot different than a deuce and should be noted so we all know what we are talking about

ok on a bobbed deuce you can get away with less gear ratio . what size tires are you planning on running and what engine are you going with:roll:

i wonder if disk brakes with a split brake system would be better for the deuce than running five ton being that you loose some gear ratio to with the five ton axles.if you can get the 5 ton axles cheap and it doesnt force you into cdl in your state i say go for it .you will have to rework the...

still alot of work and will be under powered still . but yes that will help fix the weak brake system on the deuce:roll:

i love the engineering behind these trucks they are really cool what they do but i think a standard gradall would be better suited to do the job of these trucks.maybe a mod to the gradall suspension so it could flex when needed then be locked when digging would have been a better idea .gradalls...

hmm interesting idea.seems like alot of work probably be better to just get a 5ton.since you will need a cdl to drive it either way cuz of the air brakes:roll:

sounds like fun .to bad i'm so far away:roll:

lets all put it to a test someone bring some chains to haspin this year .i just want to see the difference between chained 11.00s and aired down 395s or 15.5s. i agree with matching the tires to the vehicle and how you will be using it thats why i say to do research on what tires do what best...

great info guys that hot rod motor would be awsome to see in a m135.what would you do for a torque convertor since running that carb setup with a big cam and ported head you will end up needing a higher stall convertor to make it all work .

i went right throught the same hole a week later with the 15.5s i was able to stop in it and everything:-Dit took a tri axle sitting on pavement,a blazer on 44s with a 12000lb winch three snatch blocks and a 1/2 ton chevy on 36s to get me out of that hole:roll:

i have never used chains .i havent seen any trucks in the top truck challenge chaining up.i'm not saying that a set of chained 11.00s wouldnt be better in mud or snow and ice then the 15.5s or 395s but in everyother situation the the 15.5s and 395s are so much better that the govt runs them now...

i rebuild transmissions for a living and we have a full machine shop wear i work to .we are a distibutor for coan and i have a cousin that is a machinist so is we come up with something that is worth making i can have coan make the first set of gears and save the cnc program so my cousin can...

i'm not calling them i dont have 5grand for a stock 3053a .i'm just thinking it would be better and probably cheaper to make a different set of input gears to go with bigger tires then it is to change the ratios in the rear end .not to mention the gear chances for the diffs are going the wrong...

everything has a trade off do your reseach and choose the tire that works best for how you use your truck everyday.i had dual 9.00s on my truck they didnt work for me i singled it out with ndts they didnt work for my i'm really happy with the 15.s but think the 395s would be better in mud but...

i.ve never seen anyone chain up for mud before.and there is a good reason the mud tires are wide and have agressive treads.every tire does different things good. if the mud has a bottom narrow tires will get it done if it doesnt a narrow tire doesnt have enough contact patch to keep the truck...

i disagree with you saying a con is they lower milage they actually increase fuel milage. by lowering the rpm at a set speed or moving more miles for the same amount of revs of the engine .i have 15.5s on my truck and i get 14mpg on the highway pulling my m105 and i only got around 10-11 with...
