Having full width F-250 axles under my YJ has brought the center of gravity down and given it a very stable stance. Is there anyone that has done a similar swap? Now I have 35x12.50 bfg's that are nearing their end... I've seen swampers and mtr's work their magic on the rocks. Any opinions on what a good tire to run considering my width?

The stance really does not factor into the tire, as far as traction. Although I would go with a taller tire than you used before, your heepee is going to be exposed more underneath.

I would get some 36 sx's but your heep will never see dirt. So in your case go for some Firestone wilderness ta's :flipoff2: Do a search ya freggin NEWBIE...

:eek: OOOOOH!! :fj:Pen with a quick poke to the eye! That had tah hurt! Awwww, pity! NOT!! :flipoff2:
And yeah, I would go with at least 36-38s if yer really gonna keep up!
OR you could get a lowering kit, some twice wide dayton gold wires w/ knockoffs & low-pro whitewalls, some dingleballs n fuzzy dice, with the leopard seat covers. And don't forget the neon underneath, the flame stickers, and the all mighty Knight Rider 3rd brakelight! Now you don't hafta worry about using "search" or what size tires to run! I gave you the crib notes! You will be the envy of the barrio S.A. Cha-da-lay Holmes!

BTW... Have a :) day! :barf:boy! :flipoff2:

well if they are f250 axles you could have a 44 or a 60 front...which is it? with a 44 i'd go 36x12.50 sx's if it is the 60 definatly move on up to the 38's. i feel the narrower tires on an 8" rim is a good combo for full width axles to help keep the over all width down within reason. just my op.

I have full width 44/9" in my YJ. I ran 8" rims with 36" SX's and drug everywhere I went. Got some 38.5" SX's on 10" rim and lovin every minute of it. I say go 38's and never look back.

I run nearly full sized axles (I narrowed them 4") with 3.5" BS 15x10's and 38.5x14.5" SX's on my TJ. Works GREAT, is not tippy and has reasonable clearance (going to shave the diffs this winter though).

Like the other guy said if 3/4 ton get 36's if 1 ton get 38's.

i bought some 36x12.5 swampers and i drag the rear 60 on everything:mad: wish i would have bought 38's:rolleyes:

if you have the axles, go 38 or you will reget it
down the road you will want them, and have to wait, or sell the ones you have and take a loss

I have the 44 front and 60 rear... Sounds like some 37's are in order...

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA :rolleyes:

Hey PigPen, what was that, oh yeah...
Can you say REAR STEER... and enough anti sqaut to lift your front driver side tire off the ground every time you hit the gas. Lets talk about never hitting the dirt...

While we are on the subject, lets see everyone's full width pics- not cut down full widths- FULL WIDTHS. all us newbies who are planning on going big need some ideas of what we are getting into. preferably pics of them ON your jeep. that would be nice. also tell us what axles they are and anything else you want to include. LETS SEE THEM!!!!

hey, you want some pics i can e-mail them to you, i dont have pics of my ride anywhere in the internet, so i cant post it as a reply

Send them to me and I will post them @ www.polygoats.rockcrawler.com you big wanzy...................:smokin:

I love my 38 and wouldnt go to anything smaller.

the reason i recomend 35 or 36" tires is because of the d44 front. i used to break my old d44 with 35's so i know my current 38.5's would munch them. i guess it all dependes on where and how you wheel as to how long the 44's will hold up.:D

so email the pics- whatever- but lets see em'!

bigblackjeep- your homepage doesn't look very current after reading your signature. got any newer pics? come awn!

Nice Mall Terrains :D
Hmm now Im getting an idea of what mine will look like with a fullwidth D44 front and 8.8 rear.
