Yes they are all "selectable lockers"

and i know Eaton, ARB, and OX are great products but i have no expierence with Auburn.

Really if you get a selectable locker the only thing you have to decide is rather you want it Air or Electric.

I like Air better (i hate electrics) but thats me air has its flaws also.

 

well, eaton or arb, which would you choose? which is cheaper? whats the differences other than electric and air?

 

OX is cable operated

 

ALSO, if I put 35/12/5-16 or 315/75/16 on my truck, I have FACTORY Aluminum wheels, will those tires fit without rubbing with the 3" body lift?

 

yes you can put them on your stock wheels. id recommend you putting them on a different set of wheels with 4.5" of Back Spacing and 10" wide. this will also keep the tire wear even.

 

Why should I get different wheels? Will backspacing make them stick out from the fenders a little?

Whats wrong with the stock ones?

And should I put 35/12.5-16 or 315/75/16 on stock?

 

I regeared 4.88's and differentials last january. you can run an ARB, Eaton Elocker, or Auburn Ected up front. ARB and EATON operate open while deactivated. Auburn operates as an LS.

For the 8.8 rear you can run an OX selectable or Detroit Locker. For the 9.75 you can run a detroit locker.

 

you can use the stock wheels. but an aftermarket wheel will stick out and provide a better stance. Plus there will be less possibilities of the tread crowning.

and either of those tires will work.

 

Ok so then what is the cheapest or best looking wheel that is 10" wide with 4.5" backspacing that will fit on the f150? Should I get 15, 16, or 17" wheels?? And the TSL Radials dont have 35" from what ive seen on websites, only 36..

Best cheapest mud tire, that is 35. I only have 2500 bucks, for wheels, tires, gears, lockers, and body lift.... Thats why I want to use stock wheels to save money..

 

then use the stock wheels. im running 36x12.5x16 Super Swamper TSL's on my stock wheels.

Go look at the Super Swamper SSR Radial. Much like the TSL but they offer the size you need.

The only other tire to look at would be Maxxis Buckshot Mudders.

**** Cepek however does make a nice wheel that will fit out trucks its the DC-1. and our bolt pattern is 5x135. but if you are on that limited of a budget id just use the stock wheels for now.

this tire right here.

dont worry about the price its showing you can find this tire for under 200 normally

 

Well to get a better stance/look what wheels should I go with? 15's or 16's? 17's???? Im thinking 16's.. And will 36's r ub alot with just the 3" body lift?? Or should I get 35's..? And are the TSL Radials better than the SSR Radials?

Sorry for all the questions, but this is real helpful I appreciate it alot!

 

The only way to fit 36's is to use the stock wheels and get a narrow tire. then you also have to crank the torsion bars all the way up. and trip ALOT off the bumper.

you cannot fit 15" wheels on our trucks. wheel size is up to you.

The TSL and SSR's are pretty much the same. I like the TSL's better. But thats just me.

 

Well I been looking and the TSL Radial 12.5's are actually like 9" wide tread pattern it looks like... I want something that is actually 12.5 wide then..

So lets say im going to pay 250 a tire, which ones would you get... 35's that fit 16's...

 

yes that is correct the TSL's are only 9" across the tread. I like narrow tires they dig better in the mud.

Im gonna stand firm on this. Go Look a Maxxis Buckshot Mudders. they are a very very good tire and for cheap! probably under 200.
