    mmm... 35's on the dodge... at stock height...
    they rub a TINY bit on the sway bar on the pass side at full left turn.. nothing major. smooth surface on smooth surface.

    what ya think?

    yes, that rim looks dented, BUT its the VERY edge and it looks so bad due to the "chrome" being fubar'd

    and this is the barracks parking lot. 3 dodges... only one is a cummins...
    BUT we have 4 more that live here and every one in a while we are all backed in together.

    also its been a while since i have had BFG AT's... i forgot how loud they are when they chirp.......

    i will be geting a leveling kit of one type or another, but it wont help the only area it has rubbed so far. i have taken it off pavement and nothing out of the ordinary. no rubs there ether. it handles a bit different, and i need to cal my spedo, but ill do that saturday.

    but oh well.

    It looks fine but why? Since it's a 2wd and all...

    Are you trying to offset a 4.10 ring and pinion?

    thats a but of what i am doing, but i like to play in the dirt now and then as well. also wet traction SHOULD be improved, load capacity is th esame and ride quality should be a lil better. at any given speed i spin about 2k RPM less....

    I see. So you've got 4.10's then? They helped the ride slightly?

    yeah, the 8 ply vice 10 ply did that along with the extra side wall. the 4.10's rock, but i need a 10 speed. waytogo i think they should have had a third ratio in the 3.9's area... would have been a lot better...

    Wow, I am thinking I would have plenty of room on my 05' 4x4. I was told I would need a 2" spacer in the front. If I can get away with 35's without one that would be sweet :D

    you dont need it, no. the 4x4's are about 2 inches higher anyway. i will be getting the spacer next month. till then i flexed it out and it does not rub at full compression with the tires straight. i know not to goose it around bumpy slow corners... no worries
