Too much nice original stuff to change into a hardcore wheeler. (said over 2 years ago by Rob Gojkovich).
stay stock-ish...it looks nice the way it is. So straight and original... (said about 1 year ago by Adam ).
Stay stock, if you wanna wheel, find another, this will be priceless some day with some work and $$$ of course. I like it...."IcyMoon" (said about 1 year ago by Joseph C. Archuleta).

What tire size are you running? I really like the stance and would love to set mine up in a similar way. (said 11 months ago by James Kamps).
33x12.50 15's on 15x8 wheels. not a good set up however, fronts rub real bad on tight turns. need spacers or big offset wheels perhaps both. looking into a scout II chasis swap now. frames just to wide to keep big tires in the wheel wells (said 9 months ago by Chris Gambill).
Good info. Guess I'll stick with 31's when when I put new ones on or go with the tall skinny look. My 29" Hercules tires rub a bit on the frame but I think some of that has to do with the ride height. Springs are a bit flat. Once I re-arch the springs (said 9 months ago by James Kamps).
