Hey everybody. I'm ordering new wheels and tires with my lift. I'm getting the RE 3.5" super ride and using 31x10.50"s. Does anybody have any recommendations as to which backspacing I should get? There is 4" and 4.75" available in the wheels I'm buying, I would like to avoid fender trimming if possible. Thanks!

4in backspacing

 

i think you'll be suprised at how much lift you actually get out of that kit I dam near got 5.5 inches in the rear or they sent me the wrong springs, not that i am complaining but just a heads up that you might very well need some spacers for the front

 

all R.E. kits are about an inch more than spec'd.
my 5.5 netted me 6.5 when installed.

i'd look for rims with 3.75 inch backspacing personally.

 

Yep 3.75 or 4 nothing more.

 

Here's mine w/ 3.75" backspacing. I like the wider stance.

Also, caged is right. The RE lifts tend to give more lift than advertised. My 3.5" superflex has been on since last fall and it still has over 4.5" of lift.

 

Your rig looks SICK! I hope mine turns out about the same, I even have a similar color. How do you like your lockers, and were they relatively easy to install?

 

I'm running 4" BS on mine and I think its perfect

 

I tested the locker in mud this weekend and it worked great. Also, the Powertrax is a ton quieter and smoother than mechanical lockers my buddies have used before. I can remember constant clunk-clunk as they would lock and unlock in corners. 95% of the time, you wouldn't even know the Powertrax is there. Every once in a while I can feel it lock and unlock, but it is not obtrusive.

I never installed a locker before and did mine in about two hours. It was one of the easiest mods I have done so far.

 

4inch BS 15x8 with 30s

 

3" and 31's with 4.75" BS I loved it, worked awesome
