mr. cob Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Howdy Quickthrotl, Looking at your photos, when completed how much clearance will there between the top of your tires and the nearest underside part of the bed? Do you plan to cut a radius in the outside iron to provide tire clearance for removal and installation? Looks good, thanks for any info you can share.

Quickthrotl Posted March 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 With the truck aired down there is 1" of clearance between the tires and the bed, fully aired up the tires will come out 2004 Volvo VNL 780 2017 Momentum 376TH 2007 Harley Davidson FLHTC 2009 Smart4two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdickinson Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Are all tires the same diameter?? Will you ever need or want chains? Would there be enough room then? Personally, I don't figure on using chains or getting into a situation which would call for them....I'd use sox if they were available. I need new tires for rear of truck and all of the trailer tires. Trailers are dated 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickthrotl Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 All tires are the same, I hope to never need chains but there will ne room for them if needed 2004 Volvo VNL 780 2017 Momentum 376TH 2007 Harley Davidson FLHTC 2009 Smart4two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance A Lott Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Your design looks very similar to what I am planing. Why did you go with tube? What thickness will the deck be?
