sammy11 · Sep 8, 2010

whats the biggest tires anyones ran with a stock T-case with ofcourse 4-1 or 6.5-1

40's make this happen. 4.9's in the case.

But I drive like an epileptic ra-tard so YMMV.

That's pretty impressive crazy... but how's your case supported (ie....bracing/mounting setup...)???

It was just in a mighty kong. Now it's in a mighty kong welded to a rock4x spine. Hopefully it will stay together a little better now.

235-75-15 is a big tire for a sami.:stirpot:

The spine is a cut out braket the goes around the Tcase halfs picking up all the bolts so the case doesnt try N seperate like. Crazyblueriders did..

Im sure at the time he was idleing along N not beating the holy living **** out of it?

The tires were only hopping 1 or 2 feet into the air on the rev limiter. I wasn't beating it that hard. :redneck:

6000 rpm's is an idle for him.. it was probably closer to 7500..lol

From my experience up to this point. I would say that zuk cases will handle most of the abuse you throw at them as long as they have a good bucket/spine and you don't drive like a complete asshat.

Those pictures are my first broken case and I have been wheeling this rig for 10 years now. I also have an OTT doubler so I am running reduction going into the t case also. The more reduction you have going into a case the more likely it is to brake. I also am running a 1.6 16v not the stock engine.
