How much lft?

tomasharvey · 06-18-2009, 12:37 PM

I got a screaming deal on some new tires but I am unsure how much lift I need? I think some "minor" trimming and gear swap might be needed as well? I think the stock axles will be ok though.

hahahahaha that's freakin hilarious!!

ohh and only a little bit of trimming!

You'll have those on in no time!

tomasharvey · 06-18-2009, 02:41 PM

The guy who sold them to me at 1 a.m. out of the back of his van in the airport longterm parking lot who was wearing a ski mask said these were new 2010 Jeep "take-offs" and would fit no problem. He seemed like a good guy but he was really in a hurry and really anxious.

What are you going to put the Mudders on.....I couldn't see it very well in the pic...LOL

RICZR2 · 06-18-2009, 09:47 PM

Nice looking 92... Do you get any rub with 31x10.5s and 3" lift?

FlyingLow · 06-18-2009, 10:30 PM

12" suspension and 4" body (at least) and those are easily 40+ I think.... Unless you have a fully built up D44 front and rear you're gonna snap shafts like there's no tomorrow. You may have to extend your wheelbase to accommodate those. So we have another set of "discount" tires lol.

Thanks - Yes when you turn it to the stops (or close) they do rub. The only spot I can see that the tires are hitting is the lower arms. I was a little PO'd since I bought the Jeep with the 31's and stock suspension...obviously rubbed hard. Spent all the time with the 3", new brakes all around & rear brake lines...maden voyage she rubs! I have some 1/4"ish spacers but have not splapped them on yet.
