Here ya go Skip,


These are from 04' nothing has really changed other than a chip and some under the hood fabrication. Oh, other than things I have broke and had to fix.


This is when it was 12in lift with 38in super swampers. never again


back to 8in lift with 37in tires


at the desert getting abused.


this is the most recent pic from last summer.

Very nice.

When you had it at 8 inches, did you HAVE to come down to 37s from 38s for tire clearance??

Skip

[DirtyJohnson]

no, I tucked those 38's a few times in the fenders. mostly for the ride (like driving on washboards) and get some power back. 38's would rub if turning and hitting something hard though. In the sand the 38's performance is no comparison.

[Ken "Skip" Hill]

Cool. Very nice looking tractor you got there. I was going to hold off until I got my new (slightly higher) ICON lift and 38s instead of 35s but I will post pics of mine after I get the fusion bumpers on this week and the new RPB grill. I might even do a short vid of me rolling coal at 45 miles an hour.

What kind of a lift do you have on it, by the way?

Icons skip? They make awesome stuff. What tire you going with? And DirtyJ that's a nice ride and boat.

[Ken "Skip" Hill]

Yes, good stuff, no doubt.

I have Toyo MTs and love them. This last set only lasted about 35k but they just look awesome. I have 35s now but will move to 38s with the new lift.

That's what I have. 285/75/18....35x11.7 or something.

Skip

well its all pieced together, mostly fabtech and fox shocks. I do my own work so I just buy the parts I want. If I did it again I would coil over the front and maybe rear and cage the inside. The wife gave me the OK some time ago since we don't have our buggy anymore. When I did it back in 04' there wasn't all the stuff that is out now.

my favorite tire was probably the goodyear mt from the military hummer, in the pic is parnelli jones and now I have bfg AT and won't do those again.

What is the width on the 38's your going to run? You may want to re-gear if you go that tall.

thanks breck.

I will probably go with 13.5s - anything wider probably won't look right on a 20 rim and I don't want to go with new rims because I already have moto metal rims that I like... for now. lol

that sounds good, I know from exp. that any wider and it gets very close to the back of the front fender when turning. I do like the black rims out these days.

[Ken "Skip" Hill]

If I have to I will just do cut out fender flares in black. I would prefer not to but I will if I have to.

No more garage time for your truck, eh Skip? Lol

I don't usually post on here, I usually just read everything but I couldn't pass this up.

Skip: You can't go wrong with Icon. I have a 99 F250 with a 8 inch Icon lift (all springs/no blocks) on 38x15.50 Nitto Mud Grapplers and 20" XD Monsters. I did a lot of research before I lifted my F250 and Icon is top notch. If I remember right you have a 05-07 from the Longevity DVD. Another company I would recommend is Rize Industries. If I had a 05-07 I would go with Rize personally.

Now my tires do rub on my leaf springs close to full lock, but that doesn't really bother me.

I don't have enough posts to post a picture of mine lol

When you had it at 8 inches, did you HAVE to come...
