Check www.reevesracingvideos.com for proof it not a mall rat. Been to a lot of races to shoot. I tend to use more throttle.
That was filmed between Washeo Lake and Carson City out in the Open Country. Some of the trail I actually had to shift in to 4 wheel low first gear and creep it. My next run is Loon Lake then Truckee , in July doing a Bear Valley Loop Trail. If I hit black diamonds its only BD1 or BD2 nothing over that. Washoe to Carson City is White diamond 2/3 and to Virgina City is White diamond 3 Blue 1 on some trails.

These next runs are going to be killer since I will have a spotter and someone filming outside the truck plus the dash cam. I will be making about a 30 to 45 minute Video next time.

Should. Check turn radius for frame and other contact. Might put a few cranks in bars. Also depends on rim offset. A good tire store will let you test fit tires. Remember some aggressive tires with sidebiters will make contact before ATS. Tires are not what they say. Its probably not a true 32.

Default 33's vs. 35's?

recently got the wife a new car and now have the durango to with as i please. i have been doing alot of serching and reading and so far even though it's older this thread is the most informative. my durango is a 2002 r/t. i understand they don't make a lift kit for this year so my best option is the 2" t/s lift and 3" body lift. some guys are fitting 35's but most are going with 33's. my stock rims are 17's and the tires are 275/65r17 so just a fraction bigger than 31/10.5's. so i think i can fit the 33's no problem with the 2"x3" lift but i'm really wanting to go with 35's. so over all they're just 4" taller and 1 3/4" wider, break that down from center it's 2" taller and 7/8" wider each side. i really don't want to trim fenders. reason i am asking this is it seems most of you had the 15" rims so i'm thinking your rims are probably more narrow also. i think mine stock 17's are 9.5" wide so my durango might be able to handle the bigger wider tires better. is this the case or is it just wishful thinking?
