I doubt there would be enough weight to throw off the balance if just using the rock guard.

I would take the spline caps off if you did that. No binding of the drive line for sure.

XZL or MVT. I had some XMLs, they were noisy and wore poorly. My XZLs that replaced them are much better.

Nope just a bonus. If you use the ctis, I think it should be mandatory though.

Post #30 for me. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/34231-head-board-crane-3.html

Just wondering as I can't do it(or won't do it) on my own either.

What do you have to load the tire/rim combo into the bed?

Here is one option: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/45664-15-5-spare-deuce-pics.html I used an A3 tire and rim. If used up front, I just swap out the tire/rim. If used out back, I pull the driveshaft.

You thinking of welding it in, or having it bolt together?

I'm not sure. Are they a big offset like a stock deuce rim? I would be worried the tire might hit the draglink on a sharp right turn.

Yo J, sorry I missed your call. Just got the VM tonight. I cheated a little and used a hydraulic bead breaker to pull the tires off the rims. If you don't have access to one, try using a cherry picker. Set the legs on the tires and pull the rim half out with the boom. I think I used spud bars...

If I remember correctly, they are different sizes(Orings) but I would set 2 halfs of a rim together with the Oring and see if it will compress. If so, I think it should work. You know the A3 bead locks are wider than the FMTVs right? The A3 rim is 11" wide compared to the 10" FMTV. If you were...

Yes the A3 rims are MPT, not the 395s are not MPT rated, yes people have run 395s on A3 rims. BM(hehe I said BM) I have swapped out a set of 7 395s from fmtv rims to A3 rims in a day. You will feel like death for the next week. Just an FYI!
