Body lift and 33's ?
 
Hey guys this is actually my first post on here very nice site first of all, anyways im considering getting a 3 in body lift and im in limbo between 33's and 35's i am going to keep my stock wheels also which are 17's if that helps or changes anyonmes opinion

welcome to the site! :wave:

check out my gallery. i have pics of both setups that youre looking for.

IMO, 33's on stock wheels will look really small with a body lift. Heck, odds are your stock tires were 32's (265/70-17). I have pics in my gallary with a 3 inch body lift with 33's and 35's on 16x10 inch wheels.

285-70-17's with 3" BL

315-75-16's

35's are perfect for this BL.

I would say 35's with the BL, and maybe crank the bars slightly just to level it out.

Jump N - How do you hold your bike in the truck standing up? Im tired of laying mine down and risking it getting slammed around if I have to slam the brakes or something.

with stock wheels i wouldnt see rubbing as to big a problem. maybe trim the front valance a tad, an youll be fine.......good luck my friend

what motor do you have?

JRSKR Dec 26, 2010 02:23 PM

i have the 5.4

don't forget about the re-gear if your budget will allow it

str8t six Dec 26, 2010 05:05 PM

i agree with terejame, but you should be ok with 35's and the 5.4 for a little while till you can save up for some.

also, you will need a programmer to recalibrate your speedo.

JRSKR Dec 26, 2010 07:01 PM

well im on a pretty tight budget have a little one on the way but how big of a deal is it to change the gears out?

str8t six Dec 26, 2010 07:38 PM

you should get somebody to do it if you dont know what your doin.
