Any pictures of full width lubers?

I'm about to start on the body and I'm thinking about going back to the uncut look. I've got full width axles with about a 7.5 lift in the rear and a tad bit more in the front. Any pictures would be great, any ideas on what tire size I could run. Thanks

Nope, haven't seen one yet. The wheels will stick way out there. If you get some extreme off setting wheels to tuck the wheels closer to under the fenders you will still have the hubs on the front sticking way out there. Now you can narrow the FW axles down some.

Here are the only two pictures I could find. I think it would look kinda cool. Not sure about the hood but the blue/green one is awesome looking. They may not be full width but the tires are offset way out.

I 'd be willing to bet those are stock axles with wide rims. Spacers can also push wheels out too.

i dont see it happening...besides whats the point?wider track for stability, but to keep the un cut look, you'll have to go taller probably depending on tire size. and if pushing the tire further inoff set wheels) after fw swap...why go through the trouble in the 1st place???

Casey, that is bad ass. Do the boggers rub the fender when they go up into the well or do they stop? If they stop than I would think I could do that with my full width rig.

U can install bump stops anytime u don't want your tires hitting the fenders. I'm sure Casey hasn't installed any yet, so I'm sure his tires would hit. He's running a duff 4 link in rear

Im pretty positive mine would hit, rub, tear, and pretty much demolish rubber and metal. BUMP STOPS WILL BE ADDED till I get sick of it and cut it. I have not driven it yet, just cranked it this past sat for the first time. Swampu i think yours would look bad ass as well. Besides the hitting part you need to realize that you will also be slinging sand, rocks, and water regardless of what kind of tires you run with the tires sticking out from under the body.

I'm not worried about the slinging of anything. I very seldom drive it now, if I had a paint job and luber fenders I would drive it less. I don't have a top. I would like to paint it up like the blue/green in this post but every part is rusted or dented. If I do any body work it will be on a newer less mess up body so thus the luber idea.... I like the uncut look if your not offroading.

It might work for photo shoots. You will be rubbing all the time on a trail rig. I had a truck with 33"s and A 5.5"'lift and tire clearance was minimal at ride height standing still. It got lowered and cut.
