Hello, 1972 with 4" seseption lift and 33 12.50/15
Nice top. Where did you find that?
I haven't seen those before.
4 inch tuff county ez rides in front, ORD 4 inch flip in back.
Dodge Dana 60, 14 FF
17x8 steel wheels 3.5 inches back spacing.
37 13.5 17 Nitto mud grapplers ( bro wheels and tires)

44" TSl's on 4" lift
4" ORD springs, 1" bodylift 38x13.50-18 toyo mt's
I really like the stance on this.
Does that roof rack act like a wind brake?
Not sure, never had it at highway speed .
And when I do the trans swap , its getting 4" lift 56" springs in front, 63" rears and more fender trimming . Once thats done , its getting 18.4-16.1 Titan ag tires so it will be a trailer queen
why mess up a perfect stance?
Cuz 48" springs suck lol , It should only raise the truck maybe an inch or two and push the axle forward 2.5"
The 38" toyos actually are for my towrig but I pulled them off to take it in for warranty work the other day, and the 37" procomps that came on this truck are on my 98 dodge ........
Thats a tow rig!
I see what you are doing with the burb.
Making a trail rig vs tow rig opens up a lot more possibility. Then stance and looks don't matter much.
Yeah its really hard to have a capable dual purpose rig up here , our trails have lots of mud, floating bog, rocks, off camber hill climbs, DEEP water crossings , and miles upon miles of two rut trails through open tundra and heavily forested areas
That is some rough use gear. I'd like to make it up there.
Pretty wild how small that ford looks next to those other rigs. I had one of those and it always felt like a land yacht. Almost undriveable here.
And your comments on the springs really makes me sad I didn't spend a little more time getting longer ones for the back at least. My ones are going to be super stiffy.
2" bodylift 4" lift 56" springs front 4" 63" rears 7.25 shackles 3.5 block in rear zero rate in front 18.4-16.1 firestones approx 45" tall
1987 V20
Rough Country 6" front spring
Rough Country 4" rear spring with 2" block, apparently RC does not offer a 6" rear spring.
37 x 12.50 x 16.50 BF Goodrich Baja Military
16.5 x 9.75 Western Wheel Cyclone
**Rides like a Cadillac for all of you RC naysayers.
I love it.
I second that.
