New wheels and tires on my 72 f100

[72greenie]

I was really wanting something black and a little wider than stock. So, I went with Cooper tires (255/60/15) on 8" Crager V rims. It looks more my style now.

Those look great on your truck!

[72greenie]

Thank you sir!

Good day 72Greenie,

Those look fantastic--looks like a big upgrade! My plan's to buy Coopers also the next time I'm ready for that, since they're USA-made.

Did you drop the rear any? Your truck look great with those wheels.

[72greenie]

Thanks guys. Yes, I dropped the rear 4 inches. I'm still undecided whether im going to move it up 2 inches or not. The hanger i put on gives me a 2 or 4 inch drop option. I wanted the truck to be leveled out.

Did you have to cut the bed floor are anything to make tr shackle fit?

[72greenie]

Nope. I ground off the rivits on the front hangers, removed them and mounted new hangers. Then I had to put a 4 degree shim in for my pinion angle.

Where did you get the hangers?

[72greenie]

These guys right here. The hangers came adjustable (which was cool). Their picture doesn't show them that way.
