Great! I’m open to multiple options.
What do yall think of going an inch or so taller?

From what I read on here, I see guys go way outside of “stock” without too much problem, unless they go crazy.

Do you mean an inch taller on wheels or tires? You should look to see what tire available in 16" wheels. I don't know what is better.

One inch bigger rims will net you 1/2" with the same sidewall.
235/85 R 16 is a 32" tire but would ride too rough on a 150.

Let's see what happens....

Lucia Pineda was an indentured Honduran house keeper.
We (as kids in the early '70's) watched "stuff" unfold down there, like volcanos, landslides and coup's.
TJ, name what you want, because I know if it's out there she WILL find it.

Those wagon wheels are in NC, $200 for the lot....

Maybe Dave or Matt?

But anyhow, I'm going to try to get her to sign up, just so she can interact with TJ who is mere 1/2 hour from her in Duck Ditch.

TJ do you have a Facebook or some way Sylvia can interact directly with you?
Email?

She's blowing up my texts with questions I can't answer.

Those wagon wheels are near Hickory, way up near the 40 & 321 crossroads.
$50 ea NIB is a deal!

But if you want, we can find a way!

Otherwise, Matt???

about an hour or more from me. I haven't been looking at fb marketplace in over a week. been way too busy in the shop and I just got notified that another 4.9 is machined and ready for pickup. I will be building it over the next week or so as I can. what makes you think of it as being less than legit?
