Lookin' good Jason!

:bandit:

[Ag_xterra]

thanks. now these give me an excuse to wheel daily instead of my usual weekly trip. ha

[rrdstarr]

Those look like nice tires! First time I have seen someone in a long time put the white lettering on their tires to the outside! Not being a smartass, just an observation!

[Maddog]

Yea man, looks good. Keep us posted as to how they perform. I'm seriously considering these as my next tire.

You know the blue stuff comes off the lettering right?

He likes those blue-walls!

Look Mike !

32's without a lift or hugely cranked torsion bars !

Woohoo !

[Ag_xterra]

yes, i was aware that the blue stuff comes off the white lettering. the picture was taken minutes after the tires were installed today so i didnt have time to clean that blue crap off. i will do it soon.

as for the lift, no i dont have a true lift on my X but i do have my torsion bars cranked up about 1.25" and a fabtech AAL in the rear.

Hmmmm....1.25" of torsion bar lift, and AAL's in the rear sure doesn't sound like stock Ian. :silly2:

Take this measurement, and post the results here please.

Who said anything about "hugely cranked"? You describing your ego again?

I said you can't fit 32's on the X without cranking the torsion bars, and you can't ... unless you want to remove your fenders the hard way.

Sure...



Why must you go on and on with this nonsense ?

Adjusting the torsion bars does not alter the suspension in any way. The amount of upward travel and downward travel are exactly the same as a stock Xterra. Travel is limited by the bumpstops, and nothing else.

Adjusting the torsion bars alters the ride height, but when the suspension is fully compressed the wheel is in exactly the same place regardless of whether the ride height is adjusted, or whether a lift kit is installed.

Please tell me why the wheel can no longer travel all the way up if the torsion bars are cranked.

This is such a simple thing Mike, and I have to wonder why you try to convince yourself and others that it is not a fact.

[Schludwiller]

Ian, doesn't pre-loading the torsion bars reduce how fast the torsion bars reach the bumpstop or is it even speed regardless? I know your argument is about where the wheel is under full suspension trouble, but I am curious about this point.

Also, adding new torsion bars had more of an effect on my rubbing problems than anything.

Yes, it does, since you're stiffening the spring.

Mike's claim may come from the fact that he isn't using up all the travel due to the torsion bars being so stiff, but it's no reason to say 32's won't fit. No matter what, 32's will rub, lift, cranked or stock, but they will "fit" in any situation.
