front tires flip

[nightmare420]

ok i flipped the tires on my 02, and it def feels a little tighter to turn when its on the ground. when its lifted it turns fine tho. any suggestions? i also had to loosen the front breaks a little the hand was way to hard, is that normal? other than this, GREAT MOD lol for the price of free. def makes it noticably wider! hows the turning tho? this mod actually make anything better?

both my blasters are flipped.. big time improvment in the 'stable' feeling,, my brakes and steering are just fine, lube your steering and vcalbes up with a good none sling chain lube, like liquid wrech chain lube

I find mine turns better, because I have such wide back tires. The only downside is you get more mud on you.

i dont think you can on the 03+ blaster because the air valves will rub on the hydro brakes.
im not 100% sure thou

hah i know in my old house i put my new wheels on which are offset, and i couldnt get it threw my back gate, so to get to the back alley i had to drive down this one block haha it was pretty funny.

I use an S10 truck to haul my blaster in the bed. Before it was flipped it would roll all the way up in the bed, now I have to lift the front over the wheel wells now. Get flush stems at auto zone or somewhere for under 10 bucks usually for 03+.

 

[nightmare420]

yeah u have to drill a new stem hole or get the flush stems for after 03

does this wear out wheel bearings any faster?

the tighter feeling in the steering after the swap is just physics at work. Your shock preloads might wanna be adjusted too since it makes the front slightly softer as well.
