Only if some come my way that I can afford. Just broke last night at a pull. Looks like it will be a lot to get the pull truck back together.

For those that are watching this thread, there's 6 duallies set up like this in the new Diesel Power mag (Dec). Look on pages 92-95---all pulling trucks.

Okay, so I must be missing something. I have been reading tire and wheel threads. I just want to go to a little wider AT tread than the stock tires, but how is everybody stuffing bigger tires on factory steel wheels? Even if it is only the inner wheel? I am only planning to put on BFG 265/70/17s and I would be fine with stock wheels for now, but BFG requires a minimum of a 7" wheel width for those tires. I see posts on here where guys are running 33x12.50s on 6" wide wheels. How in the world did you make that work? Aren't you worried about blowing a bead? I tow pretty heavy. My fiver weighs 15K lbs. Appreciate any advice.

I've had no problems with my 35/12.50/17 on my rear wheels. Inners are stock steel and outers are eagle both 6" wide. I've got 33/12.50/17 on my 2nd gen with stock 3rd gen inners no problems there either. I tow regulary 10k-15k with my 3rd gen with no problems. The 2nd gen don't hook to anything but a sled anymore.
