will the fenders being 3 inchs higher and wider help me clear 37s in front ?

and will the stock rear clear 37s?



just wondering i wanna try and get some stuff ordered my tires are starting to bald up............

also what kinda backspacing would i need to clear a set of 37x13.5 inch tire ?

i was looking at american racing teflon rims.. 4.35 sound ok?

 

The 4.35" backspacing is going to kill you!!

I'd say at least 5.5" backspacing. .

 

god now i want that bumper

 

5.5 backspacing means i got more rim going into the truck right? wouldnt less bs help those tires clear the control arms and what not? i have no clue to this bs stuff ........

 

it might work but even if it does its going to look retarded!!!!!! atleast put a body lift on it!!!

 

Whhhattt!!! Am I then only one to think that bumper looks like an old train cattle guard??

 

I like the parts that you are putting on, but I think that you need to get a little more lift to look really good. I saw a 04 Scab a long time ago in Truckin' magazine called "Tonka", I think that was the name, that was set up basically like what you are wanting to do. I believe that it had 38's and was on the stock suspension w/crazy cut out fenders to clear the meats. You may want to try and see if you can find a picture of that truck to see if you like the way that it looks b/f you get too far ahead of yourself.

 

i think it will look pretty tight

pre runners look jsut like that...on 37" tires but look at stock height.


yea the tonka truck was like that....but his will be a little different and better IMO

 

I actually like this bumper, but the same company makes a bumper that is painted silver and w/o the bars coming up off of the top of it that I really dont like.

 

Goodluck fitting those tires. If they do fit I cant wait to see them.

 

I like the bumper, I wouldn't get it though. . but I do think it'll look retarded on his truck!

 

I have to go with the majority on this one, I think tires that big will look pretty bad on stock suspension regardless of the bumper/flares. Just my opinion :o

 

well i dont wanna lift it......since tire size is your clearance.......lift is just to get bigger tires to get more clearance......and i dont want to spend 2500 on a lift when i can get all this stuff to get same clearance as a 8 or 10 inch lift................. but i dunno id like to find a diffrent bumper maybe prerunner style or something that was one i liked for price atleast

 

I think it will probably work and look really good. However, I don't like that bumper at all. I would get a prerunner bumper like the on one on the Glassworks Unlimited web site. You can also get a full inch of flare in the rear by having a custom rod made to push out the rear fenders, JD Fabrication does this all the time.

 

. . you're still just using factory shocks and a spacer for suspension, it's not like you're doing Kings, hydraulic bump stops, limiting straps, or anything to achieve better suspension action. It's kind of gay, don't half *** it. If you don't like what I say than just ignore it.
