Straight Axle Lift / Tire Size Combos

Man I love this truck with the rockers

Thanks,it kind of had the old school look with the balloon tires everyone ran back in the 80's and 90's.
They actually road pretty good for how big and wide they were.

I had a set of the bias 33x13.50s and loved them. I'd buy another set now if you could still get them but they didn't even have 33s listed on their site anymore.

Thanks, I would love to do another one. The wife would kill me, she hated that truck.

1989 2wd turnt SAS. Dana 44 front 14semi in the back. 33s for rollers will end up on 35” Patagonia’s.
Sm465 4.11s Detroit’s front and rear. I will have a build sheet soon. Wanted to throw these on because I couldn’t find smaller lifts.
Square body 47” fronts from pro-comp 2.5” lift. Rear is shackle flip axle has to come back at least 2”. The plan for the rear will be sting under with ORD custom rear leafs. ORD kit was used for conversion. End game will be like the added pics. Any insight or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

That's an interesting build. Did the truck some with the 465? What TC are you going to run? Sourcing a trans cross member should be interesting, might have to build one. How come the axle needs to go back? Did the shackle flip push it toward?
x2 on the ORD springs. I've put about 500 miles on my 47" fronts and I'm happy with them. Paired them with some Bilsteins.

No truck did not it was a 2wd 700r4. I swapped the clutch pedals out of a 92 diesel truck and it was a little bit of a pain. Nah I will bend a crossmember out of DOM. Here is a current pic and hopefully you can see the difference on the axle. Yeah the flip pushed it forward a bit. I'm getting close to wrapping it up.

I started looking for a square body, but you know how that goes, especially in Texas. My father brought up the option of getting my uncle's truck, and I chuckled and said unc ain't never gonna get rid of that. Well, he did, and here we are. I wanted a 4x4 with whatever I wound up with, so I knew...
