Re: Getting Started
I'll show a pic of a 40 series tire on my Chevy and a 30 series tire on my wifes Dodge. Keep in mind her Dodge is cambered in which makes the tire look a little larger then it actually is. My point here is the difference in the 30 and 40 series are not much and will not create your ride quality to dramatically change. Now if your were to run a 265/70/17 that would give you some sidewall flex! I'll also include a pic of my rear setup. Mocked up now with Slams but will be running Firestones. This truck is set up for a two inch (above ground level) ride height and the front wheels lock out at this height. Hopefully someday soon I can share how it rides on a 25 series tire. The fronts are actually 265/30/22 and the rears are 295/25/22. There is a reason for this also. One more thing, a friends daily driven 745li BMW rides like a dream on 265/30s and 295/25s. What size tires did you end up going with?

Re: Getting Started
Thanks rustspot- 325/30 on a 22"
I've been looking at some Reverse Hood Kits. Electric Life Power Reverse Hood Kit appears to be the best one I've found so far. Anyone know of any others? As always, thanks for the help

Re: Getting Started
I wouldn't worry so much about the tire ride quality when you on bags, I would be more concered out the potholes in the road....
I run a 30 series in a 22 on my Impala and 30 series 24 on my escalade both are bagged and ride smoooooootttttthhhhhhh...

Re: Getting Started
the shorter the sidewall, the closer to the road your wheel is...including all the crap on the road...so potholes, squirrels, small dogs can hurt your expensive wheels

Re: Getting Started
Just wanted to say Thank you to PB for the help with the Accuair. Nathan is always a big help.
Also, Justin from "Scott's Hotrods" what a great guy. I highly recommend Scott's Hotrods to everyone on the board who would like quality products.

Re: Getting Started
Yep, I am in Lauderdale. Also, I am ordering the CPP wilwood brake upgrade, which requires replacing spindles. I currently have the 2.5" drop 5-lug, drilled & slotted kit, and just wanted to see if anyone could tell me what it might be worth for resale? Thanks

Re: Getting Started
Has anyone seen or installed this kit on a project? It's the CPP wilwood kit, just curious about the spindles. Thanks

Re: Getting Started
They're the CPP modular spindles.

Re: Getting Started
Thanks Scoti, I was more so wondering if anyone had installed it or heard anything about it.
Also, can anyone chime in and tell me a little about this fittings. What is the standard size coming off a Viair? I believe it is 3/8" but am starting to confuse myself. I need to install these AVS moisture catch's and need a Male To Male that is the same size as the Viair Output thread size. Thanks as always.
