NO, I will do you a favor and go ahead and tahe care of that 14bolt for you. You don't want it, they suck and break all the time.
Go ahead and stick it on apallet and I'll pay shipping and take care of that headache for you.
YOUR WELCOME!
will idident know any thig about the 6 lug 14 bolts dident know if it was one of those experiments that went bad:doofus:
I believe the 6 lug 14 bolts are semi float commonly reffered to as 14 bolt sf, and the 8 lug 14 bolts are full float or 14 bolt ff, someone correct me if I am wrong.
Very desirable upgrade for a 10 bolt guy like myself, but not sure in comparing it to the 12 bolt in your 73 K10.
Well you can get the 8 lug sf also. And the 6 lug 14 bolt is very strong axle.
The 12 is a weak sister. Truck 12's have small pinion shafts and weak c-clip axles. They are hardly related to the car 12's that even themselves need a lot of help in a race type situation. The car 12's are said to be strong only because of relativity...meaning the others are so weak.
well it looks like we have a winner
yeah man, I was just messin with you, it is a very good axle upgrade even though it is a SF, but you dont need a FF untill you start running 40's and rock crawling.
sweet i know u were i was lookin at 33s with 4.10s i figured with the 4 speed sm465 and a np205 that would make it a good trail rig up front it has the dana 44 so it should do good
u guys think that a set of 16.5 with 33x12.50s with the rimes having a back space of 4 an 15/16s backspace will fit on my 2500 leveled with just the keys tighened up?
any one?
Have no clue, sorry
no prob what about 295 or a 305
305s are 12" wide as in 305mm. The largest recommended tire size on a stock silvy is 285/75R16 which equals to 32.9" tall and 11.2" wide. 295s are 11.7" wide You will clear the 33s in height with no problems the width is what i am uncertain of because your parts are different than mine. I would say max is probably 305. Congrats on the 14 bolt SF. I will be looking for one when my Grenade80's fuse goes off. :lol:
thanks
i think ill go with a 285/75r16 or a 255/85r16
You will be happier with 285/75R16. If you read the thread "Lift Questions" 05Z71 says he fits 33/12.5 on his 1500 with ford keys only.
yup, I cant for the life of me remember what the backspace is on my wheels. guess I will have to look it up.Quote:

well if u find out reply
I ran the 305/70r16 nitto terra grapplers on mine iwth just torsion crank, occasion rub but I think it had more to do with 10" wheels than the tire.
you will be fine with 285's. they never measure up to what they are supposed to in real life.
