^^ Memphis, minsan kasi iba sa actual ang yung outside diameter ng 265/70R16 sa
http://4x4ph.com/calculators/tireht.htm ang equivalent nito ay 30.6062 inches lang and diameter...

pero yung studs ng gulong minsan mas mataas so magkaiba minsan ang labas.

Sorry, it looks like I'm asking you an "upgrade kit/procedures for increasing dmax height at a minimum cost"

this is a picture of the leaf spring hanger, note that as you can see, multiple bolts were placed to strengthen the hanger against bending and shear. because thrice a week i carry home 18 cavans (the maximum load capacity is 20 for 1 ton but i only load 18 so to not stress the car) of rice from my work in bocaue back home in my house in novaliches.. that is also a reason why the rear end of my car is a little higher than the front end of my car so that when i load the rice, my car would'nt look like an airplane trying to take off.

and this is the picture of the torsion bar and the nut to be adjusted, it is located at the middle of the vehicle.

to other fellow dmax ownes, as you can see in the picture, the underside of my dmax needs a rust proofing very badly... where can you sugest a good rustproofing service here in metro manila? is a 3m undercoat good enough? or a service from "savi" or "ziebart" provides a good service?

Yes, that is correct because as I understand it the 70 is just the aspect ratio or sidewall height exclusive of the tread surface thickness. This may explain why a comparison between a Mud Terrain tire design is slightly taller than regular Hi-way designed tire of the same size specs.

This is why I chose not to go with 75s as originally planned because simple torsion adjustment can no longer compensate for the oversized diameter. I'd have to get a complete lifting kit to clear those big tires properly which is already out of the question.

Hi I'm new to this forum, tanong ko lang po sa inyo mga sir, what's the difference between DMAX LX and LS aside from the price? Thanks and more power to the forum.

Hello Everyone. I need to purchase a bed liner for my (D-MAX '06) tail gate only. Baka meron kayong alam na nagbebenta? Okay lang kung hindi brand new.

**Memphis Raines** · March 27th, 2008 05:10 PM

^^^ Ang pagkakaalam ko po ay they are sold as a set. Why don't you just have it spray-lined nalang, much more effective
