EXCEPT thats what Incommando has 245-75s on stock wheels, I think TBJ does as well, Chris has 245-75s on 8 inch Soft 8 wheels so lots of folks running that size tire, won't lose any power really and the Duratracs just look good!!

After reading all the reviews here and there, I really want to get the GY Wrangler Dura-tracs. After the lift of course. I hope they don't look small on 02 stock rims. 245/75/16 is the size I want. Any comments on that? |

Tom, I really would like your opinion. What would the issue be on a stock rim? Or whats the deal with treadwright? |

You may have to do some trimming to the front lower part of the bumper it may contact the sway bar at full turn left or right, which is not really a problem you just adjust you turning I say may due to everyone being just a touch different. send Incommando a message to see what he had to do for sure on his He has about the same setup you'll have as far as springs etc. Treadwrights are a good tire, just retreads, some people like them others do not. Reviews I have read most people have really good luck with them, mileage will not be as great as a new tire but they are also cheaper to buy. I have two sitting in my garage in 265-70s they rode good for the 1500 miles I had them on. |

Falcon are like an old Dodge Colt Moog are like a Cadillac in others words Falcon are more like OEM Moog K1399 Most any parts stores can get them, but after getting them make sure they have a grease fitting ran across a couple that did not. ??? |

PICS!!! It will take you longer to put the pucks/bumpstops on than the springs themselves. |

Got everything but the nuts and pucks. Pucks are a hot commodity around these parts I guess. |
