it would be wise of you to upgrade your rear control arms and ditch the POS quad shocks... you will get a better launch without them anyway.

but... the biggest youlll be able to go should be a 26x8.5x15, maybe even a 235/60/15

ok i see the quads leaving lol, I can knock the upper and lower control arm out in an hour or two with a set of performance ones , thicker with stiffer bushings on them.



now, my next question, (ill prob get the slicks tomm ordered) , what ratio shocks setup is recc fron and rear? for handling on street and driving.

I have 70 lbs in rear from subs.

Default RE: What SIZE SlickS WILL FIT

just my fuc(%(*$ luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[:'(][:'(][:'(]

I went to remove the lower and upper arms, and my torque boxes/mounting area IS BEAT UP BAD !!!


How dare ford put such thin metal there!!!!!, Ill have to wire brush the areas , remove the gas tank or cover it with my welders blanket , and weld me in some reinforcements.


I havent even checked the front torque boxes

actually, I might as well sandblast the undercarriage, weld in reinforcements and support braces, I didnt know this dam car flexes like this, they look horrible!!!
When I get on her hard she goes to the left somewhat
