Ok, so I'm here at the shop. Truck is going in for surgery. They're telling me I gotta go top perch or else it will rub a lot. I'm saying no way, mid perch or bust. Comments?

 

[ZBoater]

Yay! UPS delivers. Mr. Brown is my hero. Now to the fun part.

I have been looking at those wheels and dreaming of them. Can't wait to see them on!

 

[ZBoater]

Ok, mid perch done. Moment of truth coming up! Will they fit? Ta ta da daaaaaa!

 

[ZBoater]

They fit, but will rub like crazy. Too much cutting to make it work.

So going with 35" Procomp Xtreme Mud Terrain 2s.

Dang.

Damn Z! Was hoping it would fit!

Just for reference, here is a buddy of mine with a non Raptor running full Raptor suspension front and rear set at mid Perch on the same tires but the AE wheels I was running.

Yeah. I'm disappointed. But glad I tried. Now I KNOW they don't fit without major surgery which I wasn't willing to do

I got mid perch out of the deal. And some sick looking wheels. And tires with 40k mile tread warranty. And a little pushing of the tires out, which I was looking for.

And hopefully some entertainment for my fellow forum members who have helped me so much...

Here's a stock pic of the new tires...
