Great looking chev, IMO you need to bob the rear though. Cut the frame and bed right behind the rear tire and get that departure angle where it belongs.

I bought 5 when I picked up my 39 Rockers and never needed it. The guy that bought my rig sliced a front tire within a month and came looking for that 5th tire I had.

What type of wheelin you do with this rig? I can't believe how much bigger those 44's are over the 39's!!

Those tires suck.




I'll take the old ones from you if you need to get rid of them.

What gears are you running? IF you can find a clocking plate that would sure be great for that 205.

What do the 44's actually measure? All of my buddies rigs that run 44'' TSL's are all measured 42''. But my 42'' IROKS measure exactly 42''

I've got the 37" Rockers on my Jeep and love 'em. I trailer it, though, and it only sees a couple hundred street miles per year.

So far, I've only met 2 guys locally that weren't happy with their Rockers. 1 went back to Iroks because his axles were too light duty to handle the heavier tire, and the other had just swapped off a set of Krawler reds and didn't like that the Rockers wouldn't stick to smooth rocks as well...go figure!
