told ya

 

It was good to hear this.....I'm at 5.25" of lift, also, and I have 33x12.50 Wranger MT/R Kevlars coming on the big brown truck today! I think I'll have to do some trimming, especially if I don't do a long arm conversion. My short arms pull the tire clear back at full droop and pust it into my bumper on compression. I think long arms would held with that part of it, besides the other benifits of LA.

 

what u need are some 40' BFG KM2's..... there only $706 a piece.

 

Hahaha - u did tell me! I was hoping to see some pics of 5" and different tire sizes as well buttttt its all good. Thanks again bro

Nice!! Post some pics on this thread when u get them put on and do your trimming and what not. I'm anxious to see!

 

I have 32s on mine and Im right at 5inches of lift and Im really happy with it. Ill try and get a pic

 

33's to 35's

 

Just scored a set of 33x12.50 Mud King XT's with 85% tread life for $350!! Should have them on pretty soon

 

I'll do that. Got my tires as expected, and they look awesome!! I'm getting wheels from a different place, and they havn't shipped yet, but hopefully I'll have them by this weekend.

I was set on 32x11.5x15 tires, but apparently there is not a MT/R or even a KM2 in that size in the whole country. And they don't know when more will be made. Goodyear's $80 rebate was coming to an end so I had to move so I got 33's and I don't think I'll regret it.

Sounds like you got a great deal! If you, or anyone else needs new tires, check out discounttiredirect.com , after the rebate, I got 33" Kevlars for $180 apiece shipped after the rebate. I have never found a better deal than thier advertised prices, and then they will knock more money off, too.

 

Well guys... change of plans...I came across a set of 35x12.50 BFG M/T's today for $150!!! Couldn't turn the deal down so I'm gonna try these out and see how I like the lift/tire setup. I will post pics & feedback when I have them put on.

 

Took some trimming to make them fit, and it will take more to be able to flex it out, but I think they look pretty good.

 

That looks bad **** man!! So thats 5.25" of lift and 33x12.50 correct?

 

We used to run 33's on 4" of lift with minor trimming in the bottom of the wheel wells...

Looks awesome!

 

Yeah, my plan is 3-3.5 inches of lift and 35s, like to stay low enough to side hill without scaring the hell out of myself.

 

Yep 5.25" lift and 33x12.50x15 on 15x8 wheels with 3.5" backspacing. I did a little flexing and it looks like I won't have to do anything with the rear, I can leave the flares on and everything. Just have to do quite a bit more cutting to clear at full flex on the front.
