Newbie to this Forum so if this has been posted in the past I sincerely apologize. I own a 13' Boss with a few suspension mods that have dropped my ride height approximately 1.25". I purchased a set of Forgestar F14s. 10" +42 for the rear. I really want a deep concave on all four corners so I went 9.5" +29 for the front. Has anyone run the +29 with a 265-40-19 upfront. I know a lot of guys run the 9" upfront but in the Forgestar but that's semi-concave (+35). Any feedback or pics would be greatly appreciated if your running the 9.5" THANK YOU

You've moved your front rims outboard about 1/2", are running 265 vs 245 tires and have lowered car 1.25". Good chance you are going to have interference with fender unless you add camber plates and 2 degrees of camber.

Running 285-35-19 on 4 corners Forgestar 19x10 +42 o.s. with no issues. Had to run a 5mm spacer in the front to clear Brembos. Also running BMR lowering springs. Good fitment

392's are slow. But mods, a good tune and tire. CAI, pointless. The rest depends on budget and future goals.

Need more information. Wheel widths and a double-check on that front tire size, for starters. What kind of driving? Street only? Straight line? Cornering & handling?

What are you trying to accomplish here?

You do realize that you could start your own threads instead of piggy-backing on somebody else's that's already been addressed, right?

So which TB is the best then? Also update finally found why it was vibrating so much after careful inspection by my mechanic they found metal shavings where driveshaft meets the rear end aa of what weights are off so in process of getting another driveshaft from same company since they sold me a defective product I had it for less then a year

Stock TB, no need to spend the money on what works best. A cj intake is the only time youd need a new tb.

Ford racing performance parts (FRPP) twin 62mm throttle body... polished aluminum. The reason the BBK twin 62mm TB is cheaper is... it re-uses most of the internal parts, springs etc, from your existing oem twin 55mm tb.

The drive shaft shop (DSS) aluminunm one piece driveshaft use a universal joint at the front end..and a constant velocity joint ( CV joint) at the back end. They are rated for 1000 hp, and are balanced to > 9000 rpm. They are basically plug and play bomb proof units.
