New Rear Tires!

[Retson]

I just bought a pair of Weld Draglites! They have a dual 5 lug pattern, with 7.5 back-spacing. Mounted on 31x 18.5 Mickey Thompson Sportsmans.

Would you say these are decent?

I predict a backhalf job in your future. They do look decent. Do you know what you will put them on?

A Narrowed B-Body 8 3/4 or a Dana 60

Good for you. They look awesome!

I wanted to go with something that big, but I decided a backhalf is beyond my capabilities.

yea for tires that wide you will need more than a just a widening of the stock wheel well but more like this! Although these tires are 21.5 x 33's.

Is that hard to do, or how much does it cost? I have a 70 duster, with a stock 8 1/4 rear end on leafs.

Hard to do is a understatement in my opinion.. research Back Half's here... It includes New rearend, Rear suspension, new rear frame rails ect ec t. GOOD LUCK!! :burnout:

The most important is that you can make good welds and read a tape measure. You will need some tools to cut metal also. Do some research. Kits can make it easier also.

I found a decent ladder bar kit.

The kit I used was an Alston kit. Most of what you need comes in the kit but the main thing is too have the car set up on a nice level area before cutting and brace the car well. I had another guy do all the welding after I had it just tacked together as I didn't trust my welding. I traded some electrical work for the tin work in the car, so I can take no credit for that. Have lots of cardboard on hand to make templates for tubs and such.
