Has anybody used this kit from crites?? 1965 - 1970 Mustang Spring Relocation Kit gives you 6" more tire clearance Specify Year $169
Don't forget mini tubs and a narrowed rear in the money spent pile, Hector. Gotta watch the parts boxes and the wife!
Lol yea, im working on the rear end right now.....im getting a pretty good deal from quick performance on axles and posi for the explorer 8.8
that kit only moves the springs 3" 6" more tire...you may need to do a tub/frame notch. I'm in the planning stage of moving my springs in 3" and that will give me 1.75" more tire width without mini tubbing/notching frame. I can run a 275/60/15 now. step #1 was centering my gas tank...done step #2 I will remove my frame connectors. step #3 move the springs in 3". step #4 replace frame connectors.
I just wanna be able to put a bigger tire than 275 wihout having to minitub or notch. Im not worry about my tank since ill be running a fuel cell....might end up just buying that and trying it
You'll need to remove the factory "bump stops" and brackets, along with scalloping the rear frame rails to get any appreciable benefit from this kit...
I have run 275 50 15 nitto drag radials with weld wheels with three and a half inch backspace work well.I am currently making my on a set of Caltracs so it will hook.I've got a set of Hoosier 26 by 9 Slicks.
Your not going to be able to get much more tire under a maverick than a 275 without mini tubbing. I've got 285x35/17s on mine with tci torque arm suspension and their is no way i can put a wider tire on it without mini tubbing.
