Title: largest tires on CV's?
Post by: Rotten Apple on May 10, 2008, 10:07:59 AM
hey, i am new to the site.  i have had my tracker for about 8 months, but was always curious to know what the biggest tire size stock CV's can hold.  I have been on 31" muds for about 6 months now, no problems.  Appologize if this has already been posted, but idk, im stuck ???

thanks

I got a set of 33x10.50x15 super swamper boggers on my tracker but I also have a 2in suspension lift and a 4in body lift. They don't even rub either. It all depends on you lift and the type of tires you want to run.

i hope not to experience any problems with that size tire 'cause that's what i put on.
i'm sure it has a lot to do with how hard you beat it.
i crawl when offroad and mostly worry about the highway getting there and back.
no cv problems yet(except a boot replacement).

oh ok, well i currently run 31's on my 91 tracker right now, with a 3" body lift, and they are fine, but the thing is so beat and rotted out that i am buying another one and wanted to do a 3" body lift, 3" suspension and 33's, go a little bigger, so i was just curious to know if 33's would safely work.

how about gears?... i know 31's are like max for stock gears, any suggestions?... it will be driven on the road as well so its both a daily driver and a 4 wheeler

thanks

Yeah, I was HARD on it and it is spooled in the rear and 31" tires. The cv's are great if the front remains open. If you put a locker in it, you may see some breakage. If that is the case, kicker37 on here makes some toyota cv conversion kit I hear... With that kit or some other cv upgrade, I think mikerpm on here runs 39.5 x 13.5-ish tires and claims to have no - to little problerms!!! NOW THAT'S BIG!!!

I think there is a thread on here somewhere titled: Heather's gone straight.
Boondox motor sports states they have a leaf solid axle swap in the works. Trail tough has a sweeeeeet coil set up called the Trail Slayer.

Hah, being locked front & back, and regeared to a 4.24:1 and 5.83's, I snapped the driver's front AND the driver's rear axles in a single hop in pritchett canyon (moab) on 31's.

Since then, I upgraded to 4-Runner CV's and Calmini 30% stronger rears, and 33's, with no problems.

Well...that depends!  My 4-runner axle implementation was done a bit differently than it's done today, so no, I didn't need the Hagen Widening mod.  If you use the kit Stan sells today, I think you DO need the Hagen widening mod.

If you are running a stock front end, you need to widen it for Stans toy CV kit.  If you have an Anvil from Calimini, I don't think you have to.

Thanks for the info...
Boy do I want that Anvil!!!!

I beleive Mike was running 35" on his Kick before he rolled it. 

Stan I beleive is running 37" on his rig.  And now Mike with his new rig is running 39.5"

Do a search for Rockstar.Version 2.0 is the latest and greatest. If you look through the Zukfari pics form 2005 and 2006 you will see Stans Yellow rig and 2005-2008 you will variations of Mikes.

The the article archives for the Zukfari write up's.

I believe that Mike has a custom built Anvil and Stan is running a Ford 9" front..Both with the Toyota CV Kit's.
