GlOcKnRaM's "mini fire truck" build

Awesome truck!

Got the level put on today! Toughest part was getting the tie rod to pop free without tearing the boot. Also it was a big help to have an extra set of hands to get the strut assembly out. One to push down and the other to pull it out! It took us about 3 hours from start to finish. Quicker because we used his shops lift where he works..so we didnt have to worry about jacking it up! Cost me $65 to get it aligned, and $75 for the kit itself. Made it out for less than $150!! Also I had the satisfaction of doing the install..and thats priceless!

So now it sits at 38.5" in the front and 39" in the rear..which is still good, so I dont sag when I haul my atv! So it lifted the front about 2.25"!

That's more better. When you ordering the body lift? lol

Haha I can't even enjoy the level yet?? The shop my buddy works at ordered some tires for me to check out. I don't have to pay a cent if I don't like them. They are Cooper AT3 275/65/20, out the door/install could be $1100 total. Figured I'd check them out, but I still like the BFG AT!

i think the bfg's will look more aggressive

 

[Cruizer]

I'm just givin' ya ****. Level looks sweet. New wheels will give it a more aggressive look.

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

Oh I know lol...yeah I also emailed a guy selling one Goodyear duratrac tire. He bought it for a spare and decided he didn't need it..selling it for $150 and they go for double that new. It's a 275/65/20..I may go this route and just buy the other 3!

I hope so..I'll be going to order them tomorrow!

 

[tones2SS]

The Nittos definitely look a bit more aggressive.
If you're planning on a lift in the future, maybe go with the Nittos?

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

Or 275/65/20 terra grapps for $1150 mounted..which are only .5" narrower than the 295's

 

[BigSexyBlue05]

Will a 20x10 fit on a 285/65/20

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

Will a 20x10 fit on a 285/65/20

Yeah it will work!

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

Think I'm going to save the $200 and go with 275/65/20 terra grapplers..I can't see spending that extra money to get a .5"×.5" bigger tire. I'll put that $200 towards an exhaust lol
