I guess this question pertains to lift as it involves rims and tires. I am fixing to buy some new rims, Incubus Off Road. They come in a 15x8 and a 16x8.

When it comes to buying tires for these rims, I have decided to go with 33" tires. I know I can find 33x12.50x15 tires. Is there any tire manufacturer that makes a 33x12.50x16? If not, what is closest metric tire to that? Are there any advantages to a 16" rim?

 

^ Look into treadwright they have tires for cheap and most are for a 16 inch rim

 

just keep I mind they are recaps. I've heard nothing but good things about them but if your state's laws are anything like VA's they won't let you run recaps on the front.

 

I thought I read something on that, Id swear what I read was you can't put them on the front of like a bus. But whatever it is, it looks like any other tire so its not like anyone would know

 

And use POS stock shackle? Really?I would think the new beefier shackle, then in the future when you go bigger you have a better starting platform.

 

It's a federal regulation that you can't run recaps on the steers of a commercial vehicle. Each state has their own laws pertaining to POVs.

 

I never had a problem with the stock shackle. I would prefer a beefier leaf, myself.

 

Ok so im looking at getting a 99 xj with an 8" lift and dana 60 and 44 axles...the guy says the brakes are terrible, and that the stock xj brake booster isn't enough for the bigger axles...and he said you can swap one out of an old 70's ford(what he swapped the axles out of) and that it'd bolt right up...is that true? if not what could be the problem?

 

My rig is only 4 years older but my shackles that I just swapped out were trashed! Rustys does have really nice shackles!

 

should i do long arm or just stick with short arm on my 96 xj also i am wondering what lift i should get. Im thinking of getting 33's and a 4.5 inch RE lift kit. i have a white xj pics anyone of what itll look like also should i buy new axles? i want the tires to come out more. I will be trimming fenders. Thanks

 

Oh ok

 

I have a 2" lift (spacer up front, shackles in the back) Can I do a block and another spacer up front to get a total of 3" of lift. And Can i Get a 3" spacer? or Can i stack another 1" or what are my options. I only want 3" then i'm done.

 

3" then your done, sure! HAHA.

 

4.5 in rc lift with add a leafs. Anyone have this and love it / hate it. Let me know ur feeling on em

 

Good kit except get the full leafs. The aal is more work to install and will not last asl long.
