ALUMINUM DOT Compliant Two-piece Beadlockĭ.O.T. The second method of making the front and rear tires track is to use a wheel designed with offsets such that the front can me mounted dished inwards and the same wheel can be mounted on the rear dished outwards. The problem is not only the expense of the spacer, but adding more components and more bolts adds more potential for failure. The outside face of the spacer has a second set of studs and creates a new wheel mounting surface at a width equal to the front axle. Wheel spacers are large machined parts that bolt to the wheel studs of the axle.
There are two methods of making up the axle width difference: first, with wheel spacers, and second, with specialty wheels. A proper Single Wheel Conversion requires that the tires track front to rear, therefore, the wheels or wheel mounts must compensate for the different axle widths. The front axle on a Dual Rear Wheel truck is roughly 12” wider than the rear axle. Max speed is rated at 68mph under maximum load (6780lbs) and air pressure.ĥ CONTINTENTAL MPT81 TIRES ARE INCLUDED WITH THE BASE KIT WHEELS It is a “military” style radial tire with excellent handling characteristics under load and noise level comparable to a light truck mud tire. They require a stiff 70psi to 110psi regardless of load, are narrow tread-width, and are not available with a satisfactory off-road traction tread.īuckstop recommends the Continental MPT81 tire.
Front fender flares are roughly 8″ wide to provide coverage over the entire tire similar to OE fender designs.

Buckstop has found the optimal suspension lift to be 3-1/2″ at full weight load, full articulation, and full turning. The kit is designed on those foundational elements with a desire for minimal additional changes. The engineering design parameters are limited by available tire sizes for the weight capacity and OE front and rear axle widths. Buckstop trucks will be loaded in the 14,000lb to 19,500lb GVW range, will see limited miles per year, and will not perform heavy towing. The primary intent of the Buckstop Kit is to improve off-road performance in terms of traction and suspension and configure the truck to work as a stand-alone Fire Brush Truck or Overland Camper. Integration – from the suspension to the cut-out fender flares to the extra wide bumper to the super single wheels- Buckstop Single Wheel Conversion Kits are carefully designed to attain all functional needs. Each component of the kit is functionally integrated with the next to provide optimal performance in one package. Single Wheel, Single Sourceīuckstop Single Wheel Conversion Kits provide every component needed to fully convert from dually to single wheel – no need to shop for additional parts. Super single wheels offer greater off-road traction and performance without compromising weight carrying capacity of your Ford or Dodge truck. Improve your functionality by converting your dually to a single wheel for optimal performance. Soft terrain, heavy trucks, and stiff, narrow tires is a sinking combination!
