What transfer ratio you running? I've put 4.1's in mine even with the 4.6 to keep the acceleration good.

265x75x16 is standard LR 90/110 large size so a 3inch lift isn't required :)

prob need props fiddled, caster corrected arms/bushes, possibly adjustable panhard rod.

The others will have more information for you, but I'd recon 35's in 15's US sizes so Mickey Thompsons, Coopers etc should be best bet for money.

I use Sahara's off and on road like them pretty much

at th moment bfg 35/12.5/15 on black m ods, but i think next change will be 37,s.
only used on road im afraid though.
3.9 v8 on carbs with standard 'brand spanking new gearboxes', and next week 'brand spanking axles'.
if your off in the mud, the bigger tyres will start to cost half shafts, diffs etc! eventually.

I was about to give you some light abuse for your comments there guardian, but i then realised that it is most probably the demo truck for your business. not just a chelsea tractor that you want to look 'aard in when going shopping.

yer its one of my trucks that hardly ever see mud!, not even been shooting in the fields with one for months, they just see miles of tarmac, but yes they do look 'ard'
i use the 110 as my car now its a goodun, only problem is the 10/11mpg but cannot have that great v8 sound, without, a great v8!
theres nothing chelsea about it, but PLENTY tractor :lol:

i think 38,s and bigger will be the future like the bogger pattern .Because its clear 38,s go where 35,s cant so to be on level playing you need to get the same. my boggers measure up 15" wide thats some grip.i no someone who is fitting 44" boggers :D

how do you find tyres that big, did you change any of the drive train to cope with the gearing, any uprated shafts etc to cope with the extra stress from them. any rubbing issues with only a 3 inch lift.

looks very cool with them fitted..

I got over the rubbing issue quite easy ,gearing not to much of a problem ,just have to cut the body about a bit the only real problem is 6" arch kits still dont cover the tread,The only major snag is people stare at it on the road not so keen on that,Oh yea i am going to try a bump stop that sits next to the shocks in fact it looks like you have two shocks but this one is adjustable to work as a stop :wink:
