I wasn't sure what kind of tire I was going to use but when I bought the rims (brand new) the guy asked me what size tires I needed. He had 4 STS's sitting in his shop with about 200 mies on them (they still had the nipples on em'. Long story short, he sold me them mounted and balanced on te new rims for $1088 out the door!! SWEET

PS......I dont do hardcore off roading, but its been muddy a few times. I just hate washing it!!!! There are ALOT of crevices that are still packed with hardend mud!

 

Sweet rides. Hey jeff i was wondering if there is any tire rubbing at full turn with those 36's. Also when your suspension articulates is there any rubbing when turning??

Really would like to do the same thing soon.

 

WEll...I ended up trimming the front enough that it doesnt rub at all (and it looks good still...you would never know unless I pointed it out). I also had to trim the actual fender toward the rear of the front wheel wells.
I can turn thewheel all the way and they dont rub, but they are close....like an inch away. If I had them turned all the way and I hit a bump hard, they would definately rub on the back part, but it wont hurt anything, it will just make noise.

 

dvldog, Now your's is an awesome truck!!! Looks like a lot of years and effort wnt into it.

 

Jeff... What kind of gas mileage are you getting with the PJ Dirt Grips... And do you think if you would have added a 2 or 3" BL you wouldn't have had to trimm at all... I would love as much info as I can get because you have the exact setup I am going to be getting in the next couple of months!! Thanks man and sweet truck!!

 

Steve,
Sweet ride! You don't see many lifted Expeditions......Keep up the great work.
