110 suspension

<< < (5/5)

Eeyore:
Fair do's.  :wink:

One thing to remember though is that the back axles moves a lot more than the front under articulation and bigger tyres may be more prone to contact the wheel arch boxes at the back whilst the front will remain clear (i.e. the rear axle requires more clearance than the front).

I have 235 85 16's on mine. I have had them even when my suspention was saggy. They didnt rub then, and deffinately not now. :)

--- Quote from: "what happened was......." ---Partly aesthetics but mainly the idea is to put larger tyres on which is why I said I was happy with the clearance the back gives me. I wont be carrying the weight it was designed for.

What size tyres are you thinking of running? mines on 33.12.50s on standard HD springs and no clearance issues

Leigh:
I was thinking of 33's in the new year, so if there are no problems with clearance I'll leave the HD springs on and just go for  longer shocks

Cheers

bullfrog:
I had 33"s on mine with H/D springs, I later added 2" blocks but more for looks then need. They never rubbed before or after.
