are the cragar soft 8's worth the money and will they hold up to the occasional off roading, you know like mudding, some trail riding, etc......

 

I have the Crager soft 8's on my 2002 ranger that see's quite abit of off roading and they have held up just fine. I have also run these on my farm truck, a 89 K2500 4x4 and they have done fine on it as well

 

kool, thanx.
i was gonna powder coat my stocks, cuz i powder coat wheels at my job, and i was browsing at summit the other day and seen that they were only like 50-60 bucks a piece and figured ah what the hell lets get some(havent bought them yet).

 

the cragars are steel wheels which are alot heavier and harder to balance than the stock aluminum wheels. so if your going to do alot of road driving you might want to rethink it. i have steel wheels on my truck and its so much more rotational mass that it hurts the power and mpg. if its mainly for off road go for it cause they are strong

 

well as far as rotational mass, i have 4.10's in the truck already and only runnin stocks, with 32's, so i dont think that it will hurt it as much, and as far as gas, i only about 12 mpg now so i cant get too much worse, but i know all my jeep buddies, thats all they use is steelies.

 

if you have 4.10s then ya you should be just fine, im still running the stock 3.55's thats why it hurt my truck
