Funny how that is.

If I let it down slowly I can see why it does it. Since ifs makes the wheel travel in an arch and not just straight up and down it moves laterally away from the vehicle when going up as the controls arms reach the horizontal plane sticking out furthest at this time and then pulls in under the vehicle more as it droops down. Put it up on jacks and at full droop the wheel is pulled in under the vehicle a little bit. I’ve watched that when I put it back on the ground slowly the weight of the truck can’t push the tires outward across the ground and it doesn’t allow the suspension to settle to ride height. If I drop it off the jack with more force it settles more since this allows the stance to spread out bringing it down to ride height.

Oh boiiiiiiiiii the wait is over.....

MT Classic III 16x10 with MTZ P3 375/65r16
They measure out to 35.5”x15.5”, if you go from outside lug to outside lug they are 16” wide.


Sidwalls bulge out a good 3.5” just sitting there can’t wait to see them with the weight of truck on them. Makes me want to nascar donut people in traffic hahaha.


Worn out 33x12.50r20 Feds, the Feds measure 31.5” at the moment. Makes for a 4” increase in overall.



I need to polish and seal them before I put them on, but they are here! Got busy playing with my new to me John Deere GT262 riding lawnmower last night. Will get more pics tonight. Also need to crank the front a little to clear these monsters and schedule an alignment for Saturday. Keep fingers crossed if I crank to 8” of lift in the front they will clear so I can drive it while I wait to get the body life, if they rub too much body life will get ordered this week.
