Bagged dropmember clearance
I'm running an 18/20" combo with my f&r dropmembers. Will the front 245/45/18 tire at 26.7" clear the heater box when laid out, or even with a very low ride height, or do I definitely remove it?
I've seen Hazel and others with a fabbed lower profile heater setup, but they're running a larger wheel/tire. Thanks |

Re: Bagged dropmember clearance
Ahh, I forgot that minor detail! It's a '69. Heat only.
I'm familiar with vintage air, just wondering, before waiting until I get it all finished up front, lay it on the frame, and realize the heater box needs to come out. |

Re: Bagged dropmember clearance
Its gonna be close. You might not have to do any mods to it with that size tire.

Re: Bagged dropmember clearance
Thanks Nate. (Or is this Dave?!)
I don't mind yanking it if I have to, but I figured the smaller size of my setup compared to the guys running 20's or 22's up front might allow me to leave it. |

Re: Bagged dropmember clearance
I know this is an old post and I don't know if your still looking for an answer but yes it will clear. I know for a fact that you can also run a 245-35-20 and it will still lay frame with the factory heater box ,it touches when fully laid out but doesn't stop it from going all the way down.

Re: Bagged dropmember clearance
Thanks Del. I got the answer...the old fashioned way! The 245/45/18 just touches the blower motor when fully aired out...and looks damn good doing it.
Thank you Porterbuilt! |
