New shoes 37's
 
Well i decided to keep the truck and ran across a guy with some new 37's looking to downsize to 35's. So He came to the shop we did the swap and i'm pretty happ with how it come out. So now that i'm gonna keep it I guess i'll go ahead with the motor swap in the next couple months. still have some thigns to get up before i can do it.

37s are a much better fit. Is the front higher than the rear right now?

Griff D Jan 29, 2012 02:24 PM

Slightly but I have some weight in the bed so its sagging a little bit

Looks good, a lot better with the 37"s they feel the wheel wells better. What motor are you swapping?

Griff D Jan 29, 2012 10:03 PM

i'm gonna do a cummins 12v swap. I have a motor already, just don't know where i'm gonna go with a transmission and gotta figure out the wiring. i had the truck and motor for sale but decided to keep the truck and do a swap

Oh thats gonna be a wicked swap.

better do a write up on the swap, im sure it'll be a nice rig! nice tires too

Griff D Jan 30, 2012 09:10 AM

Yea i'll will do a very detailed write up and have many many pictures. I found an Allison to cummins adapter plate yesterday thinking of maybe putting an Allison on the back side of the motor. This is gonna get expensive

I like the 37's better buddy but I like the agressive look of the 35's tread pattern

Hard to beat the price though!

Griff D Jan 30, 2012 01:32 PM

Yea the mud tire looked real good but the truck rides so much better now.

Looks awesome. I'll be lookin for the write up.
What are you gonna do for trans control with the allison?

Griff D Feb 1, 2012 10:38 PM

no clue something i'll figure out along the way if i go that route

Looks much better with the 37's.

Zaairman Feb 4, 2012 07:52 PM

Looks good. How does the 5.4 like the 37s?

Nice lookin rig! Keep us posted with the swap, and for my .02...put a 5 or 6 speed behind that Cummins! Either way, it's gonna be one awesome truck!
