Re: New wheels & rubber

That looks good, i'm sure you covered it before but how is your suspension set up? Also, where do you get those wheels at?

Re: New wheels & rubber

Perrty basic suspension = 4" front & 5.5" rear springs. am currently installing D60front and 14FF rear.
THe wheels are Military Humvee H1 double beadlock. They come with 7" backspacing so the center of the wheels were plazma cut out and the USA6x6 centers were welded in at 4" backspacing to work with my axels. The only way to run a non-recentered H1wheel is to get a D60 front from a dully and a Van 14FF..aparently thease are wider axels that can handel the 7" of backspacing. Personally I like the looks of the re-centered H1s better.
Pacfic Fab in Morgan Hill hooked me up with the welding and USA6x6 delivered the new centers that PacFab welded in.

Re: New wheels & rubber

I'm interested to find out how those tires wheel, be sure to post up when you get a chance to beat on em some.

Looking into the 42" variety myself.
