Speaking of wheels. Does anyone know what the center bore for our wheels is? I read it's 124mm but that sounds big. Confirm or deny?

I can measure when I get home, but it would have to be fairly big, so that you can get the cover plate off of the full floating rear axle to replace the shaft, without removing the wheel. (on a steel wheel anyway... the alloys are just for pretty.. )

I have both sets of those rims, the steels and the deep dish.

I think I read that you are running a Terafirma 2" with 265/75/16. Is that correct?

Thanks for chiming in.
Yup - that's correct. 265/75/16 and 2" Terrafirma medium duty lift.

I do have more pics and will put a few up as soon as I get to my home PC. I'm TDY for the Army right now.

As bad as I want some NATO steelies... these seem to do just fine. Pics aren't the greatest, but you can see a little tucking/articulating.

In this configuration, I really haven't found any bad limitations. Occasionally, I'll do some slipping and have to re-approach steep/loose crap and maybe punch through it. I'm sure if I was locked it would be a non-issue. This turd will go anywhere.

One of these days I'll actually get decent pictures. I have a horrible habit of never being prepared.

Oh - and don't laugh at my spare. I have a full size now.

Cheers mate.. Really appreciate the extra pics. I think I'll follow suit and do a very similar setup.

Which Terafirma shocks did you go with? How do you like the ride? Are the left & right springs the same height or do they follow the OME setup of slightly hirer for the driver side (which btw doesn't make a lot of sense to me).

I got the Medium Duty extra travel ones. They ride wonderful. But... I'm comparing that to the original stock beaters that were far, far gone. I haven't been in a similar truck to really compare. They are a tad stiff, and a tad more than 2" of lift. As for height, I'm not sure if the driver side is higher. It may be, but I never really looked or measured. I can try to do that soon.. now I'm curious.

Yea I'd never heard that till Brad @ Roxtar Fab mentioned it too me. Apparently they make the drivers side springs a bit taller to compensate for the driver weight, but it usually ends up in a lop sided truck. I'm not that bloody heavy.
