Alex (WhiteZJ) and I recently helped my buddy Dave with a rebuild of his Bronco. The Bronco looked cool on 35s but had whacked out steering geometry, a hashed tranny, open diffs with stock gears, and dinky drum brakes. We set out to fix all of that by adding:
-4.10s and lockers (Lockrite in front, Detroit in rear)
-31 spline Yukon chromo rear axle shafts
-Bulletproof steering and track bar (VERY nice!)
-Rebuilt C4
-New tranny cooler
-Rebuilt Dana 20
-Front disc brakes
-35" Pitbull Rockers
Although it is not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison between the old tires and the new ones, so far our impressions are that the Pit Bulls are awesome! I admit that the looks are still growing on me, but they seem to work and that is what matters. We had Aaron at Big O mount them up and took a bunch of measurements and weight. The tires measured 35.5" when mounted on 10" wide steel wheels and the tires alone weighed 55 pounds each. They are WIDE too, barely fitting on the 10" wide wheels.
After the rig was rebuilt Dave and Alex headed up to Budweiser to test everything out. Unfortunately the front Lockrite broke, but it has since been replaced and further testing will be occurring shortly. I expect these tires to work really well in the sand and the snow too since they are sort of crowned and really spread out when you air them way down.
The Bronco:
Sidewall Flex (and they are brand new!):
