For the last three years my truck has had the eact same set of tires on it. I've been it did pretty well but I was unhappy with how much body roll was created due to the taller tire. So my next set I decided to change from a 235/75R/15 to a 255/60R15. This tire has a shorter sidewall and because of that its a stiffer tire, the tire also has a much wider foot print so my handling went up a good amount. Let me know what you think down below!

I will definitely do this to my f100 to improve the handling and see how it goes, thanks man.

@bluejack644 Год назад

I love the steel rims and white letter tires! I'd be satisfied with that look on just about any classic vehicle. I love the Steelies, most especially the type that accepts the dog dish hub caps. Nice truck man.

@justinfahnestock5067 6 лет назад

Can't wait to see what you do next keep up the good work looks nice. I would do a flip kit in the rear and drop beams in the front

@apexmetalrestoration2805 6 лет назад

Yea dude! I have the same mustang shirt. Your truck is looking freaking awesome.

@mayo_moto 6 лет назад

I cut one coil up front and did a half hanger flip and removed the overload spring in the rear. It gave me a 2” drop up front and the back is is just a tad higher. I corrected the pinion angle with 4 degree shims. Rides great, looks great, and it was basically free.

@Thecraig909 6 лет назад

Can you explain the 4 degree shims? The pinion angle is what I need to correct and i've never heard of using a shim before.

@lowpowermods8969 6 лет назад

Have you thought about going with a 2 link rear suspension to fix the angle? My cars got one and they sit straighter than a ruler

@lilorbielilorbie2496 6 лет назад

on my 67 Ford f-100 i used DJM Dream Beams and their lowering kit on the back. for tires i have 235/75r15,s on the front on the back i am running BFG Silvertown 285/70r15,s. my rims on all four are 15x7 Cragar SS. the rear tires do not rub anywhere. i did not do a c-notch on the rear. there is about 2 inches from the bottom of the bump stop to the top of the axle.

@Logster191 6 лет назад

Nice, Cooper Cobras are good tires I have them on my '75 F150. I staggered mine with 295/50s on the rear. Went with DJM's 3" dream beams and 4" lowering hanger/shackle kit for the rear. For your bumpside the rear shackle/hanger kit is only $169 at Summit Racing. DJM part number HS1130-4

@HectorGarcia-eo1lq Год назад

Do you think is the same part for the 83f100

@morgoon52 6 лет назад

Is your rear axle tube bent on the drivers side..seems like pretty aggressive uneven tire wear?

@Marxf-ev4wg 6 лет назад

Hey, I like your videos. Are you thinking at least of a crown vic front and an axle flip?

@eugenestump111 3 года назад

Roof liner is amazing

@jamesbascombe8274 6 лет назад

3" drop on the front and a 4" on the rear. You can do the rear with a shackle and hanger kit. It is a lot easier to do the rear. The front is the more costly as you need a drop beam. I have the rear shackle and hangers. But I won't be putting them on until I get the drop beams.

@cameronallen5043 6 лет назад

DJM dream beams. Cut a half a coil or a full one out of you want it even lower. You might have to c notch the rear depending on how low you go there.

@The44One 4 года назад

Hopefully 255/60r15 tires will look good on my 1991 Chevy single cab. Looks good on your truck !

I have Cooper Cobras on my Trans Am there pretty damn good tires.

@chadkalina1257 6 лет назад

I have the same tires on my 1980 thunderbird they are really easy to do burn outs struts are shot in front and they look like new but back ones are shot after two years of being on the car.

@hairnbeard 6 лет назад

a dreambeam will drop it 3in. and for rear lmc truck has 3in. drop hangers and shackles.. axle flip is 6in drop and you will need a mustang ii or a crown vic. good luck looks beast

What steering wheel do you got? I want an after market one but not a crap small one snice my truck is no power steering too.

@stephendutton1284 6 лет назад

USA Cooper tires! Awesome.

If your still planning on doing the IFS front swap I wouldn’t bother trying to lower the I beam suspension until then, no sense doing extra work lol

Bell tech drop spindles will keep your alignment and not fuck with the I beams, and lowers 3-5 inches. Axle flip and those and you’ll be sitting pretty!

@MustangGuy6501 6 лет назад

Sweet mine are 16s on my truck I went from 235 70 16 to 255 65 16 I really like them so much better, yours looks good those tires really look good but with 255s a nice 15x10 wheel would be nice

@jimmydionne2699 6 лет назад

@blazenrestok5796 6 лет назад

you shouldve fid the rear end before putting brand new tire on them and you should put some mags on the truck overall good job with the projects keep doing a good job on videos!!

@pinstripingbybear. 6 лет назад

Look on Speedway Motors they sell twin I-beam lowering I beams and spindles I'm doing a 65 right now somebody already switched over and over to a Expedition rear end with 377 gears and he's got the lowering kit they sell from Speedway Motors

@shayne4031 6 лет назад

Hey, I was wondering if any of those f-100's in that junkyard you went to were column shifts. Im asking because I need a column shift lever for my 67 f100 and can't find one anywhere. The one on my truck is all bent up and has a pistol grip on it lol.

@trav3810 6 лет назад

shayne4031 If you haven't found one yet, try Macsautoparts.com I've always found the parts i needed for my '70 F-100. I found a shift collar and a handle for mine im sure they got one for yours.

@shayne4031 6 лет назад

Trav thanks for the heads-up!

@richard_lerma_jr 6 лет назад

Yo bro quick question do you know of a 79 F100 takes a screw on the front of the power steering pump pulley. After you press the pulley on the shaft?

@Thecraig909 6 лет назад

RL Racing Garage I’m pretty positive that it’s a screw and then you press it on/pull it off but I’m almost positive you need a bolt on the front of it to keep it on yea

@richard_lerma_jr 6 лет назад

Thecraig909 I thought so thanks for the help bro

@351ranger1982 6 лет назад

It would look great with a set of 295 50 15 on a set of 10" wides oh and take some leafs out of the back

@haydennelson6243 6 лет назад

If you are going to drop it put a new rearend in. I have a 9 inch with a Detroit locker in mine. For the front just buy dream beams and convert it to disc brakes

@joshuaosterman3563 6 лет назад

Hayden Nelson Do you have the Detroit Truetrac or the Detroit Locker?

@haydennelson6243 6 лет назад

Joshua Osterman Detroit locker

@joshuaosterman3563 6 лет назад

Hayden Nelson Do you like the locker? I've heard from some people that they act up a lot.

@haydennelson6243 6 лет назад

I love the locker. It seams to work great. It also does amazing burnouts and grips right off the line

@MarkJones-sk6vk 6 лет назад

I have a Detroit in my 09 f150. Works but has lots of wheel hop now, also one wheel slips a bit before both lock up even on slow starts. If I had to start over I'd get a selectable elocker.

These short tires are good but it should have been wider in the back :)

@davidmoore5021 6 лет назад

If the truck hasn’t been hit , start with your leaf spring bushing, spring perch or for a broken center pin.

@jimmydionne2699 6 лет назад

i have the 255 60 r 15 on my 86 c10 it handles better less body roll i still need a rear sway bar though

Dog tracking if your tires r wearing like that in the rear that could mean your frame is slightly bent Craig I've seen many cases like this seriously have that checked

@TheWolverine-rm2kr 6 лет назад

thinking about getting a 1970 f100 long bed for $1000

@trav3810 6 лет назад

TheWolverine0657 Do it, its totally worth it for that price if its in good shape and all together. Even better if it runs and drives. Luckily, i inherited my dads '70 F-100 longbed and I'll never get rid of it. They're the best looking trucks of that era in my opinion. Love the way they drive and feel too.

@rubenvasquez021 6 лет назад

@Jacobkiziah 6 лет назад

Coffe_Black it's a 3 speed on the column or a three on a tree. It's a manual transmission 3 forward gears

@zacharyshoemaker835 6 лет назад

3 on the tree. Imagine his column is his gear shifter.

@juanito5.018 6 лет назад

zachary shoemaker can you mod a truck like that or does it have to be originally made like that

@zacharyshoemaker835 6 лет назад

You either buy it 3 on the tree or you don't worry about it. Everyone with a column shift tries getting it to the floor instead. Chances are you won't find a write-up of someone going backwards.

@andrewcash3855 4 года назад

255/70R16 is another nice tire size but looks a bit beefy on a SWB IMO. It’s an inch or more taller than what you purchased. 275/60R15 is also great, but should be on. 7.5-8.5” wide wheel. Both these sizes are commonly available with the type of tire you have here.
