Re: Took the plunge and got 35's
 
Looks good! I'm moving up to 35's at some point too.

bparker 07-08-2006 10:21 AM

Re: Took the plunge and got 35's
 
Those look great! I wonder if 35s would fit or rub with a negative offset wheel like i have now.

springer 07-08-2006 05:20 PM

Re: Took the plunge and got 35's
 
To answer some of your questions:

spark.

yes torsion bars are turned 3.5 turns

Roktoy.
The ride is more stiff I am going to air them down some today I ran them @ 40 psi, but plan to go down to 35psi and the torsion bars are cranked 3.5 turns so that stiffens it up too. Power difference is not really noticed until I get up around 75 and it doesnt seem to have quite the punch it did. As with all BFG's the ride is pretty quite for having those big lugs on them howl a little when coasting down to a stop but not too bad.

I am in the process of having a guy program a PCM for me to give me 20 extra hp and better fuel mileage he said it should be done by the end of the month.

I do rub on the front stabilizer bar on full turns slightly


NASCAR17.
I just pulled the grill, cleaned it really good, primed, painted, and clear coated the crap out of it it using krylon paint semi-gloss black. It has been on over a month now almost 2000 miles and hasnt chipped or scratched yet. It didnt turn out real smooth not sure why maybe the clear coat, but it is kinda rough feeling.



Thanks again for all the compliments. I got to try the tires out yesterday I think I could climb straight up a wall with this thing now..:D
