Boxed in the rear of the frame with some 2x4, and put in a 2" receiver. Also added some bling bling LED's

Yanked the sheet of ply wood I had for a bed and started bending some shit to mock this up.

What ive got so far.

here is what im getting with some $15 chevy springs.

Shocks are limiting both up and down travel. Springs actually do something with a little weight on em.

IFS gets cut off next week.

IF you can mount them yourself (they're a bitch, the sidewalls are ubber thick) you can throw some airsoft bb's in them, I am running 37x14.5 Iroks with a pound of bb's in each and they are fine at all speeds. I tried lead shot and I dont think they work as well. Takes too much centrifugal force to get them to go where they need to go to balance them. I guess you could hand the tire shop guy bags of bb's and tell him to put them in the tire.

I already mounted them by hand on another set of wheels. BB's really work huh. I guess I could always pull bead back off and throw em in.

sorry to go off topic for a post stinson, but that really works ok miller? I've heard yes, I've heard no, but I've always had my doubts. my 35s need to be rebalanced and I might like to try airsoft this time around.

Mine are balanced with BBs. Seems fine to me but my ties also never had weights surrounding more then half a wheel :flipoff2:
