Duh!
For what you would spend on sas get a good steering setup and some xj or eb coils and run 33's then do some upgrades to a d35, jeep hubs, tack the u joints, lock it and run 35's. Seems to work well for 4x4junkie

Just because I'm new to this forum doesn't mean I'm new to building a capable offroader. I know there's nothing wrong woth the ttb but its not what I want.
What was the original subject on this thread?
problem with 33's is that they arent going to give you much clearance with FW axles, youll end up dragging your centre sections like anchors.

Here are a few more.

Camshaft's another one on 37"s


84EB's on 38"s


ufospy's on tractor tires (54"?)


BONES' on 38"s


bronchoII's on either 35"s or 37"s


Beanmachine7000's on 35"s.....that might be narrowed.


Shane M's, on 40"s


walnuty's, no idea what size tires.







Finally, cammeddrz's looks to be on 33"s


throttlejockey689's also looks to be on 33"s



And another, buddyayres' is on 33"s




Well shit, there are quite a few more FW SAS BII's then I thought, just on TRS. I'm sure there are more on Pirate.

i'd say run whatever tires you want. it's your truck. you'll learn from the mistakes eventually. i'd get a good, solid front diff cover though. you can always add the 35's later anyways.

some nice rigs you found there jester

Thanks for all those pictures. That's all that I wanted. I know and understand that 33's are "too small" for fw sas but I just wantedtovsee what it looked like so ill know if I should even run the set of 33's I've already got. Ultimately I'm going bigger than 35"s so noboby needs to worry.
