Under full compression?

 

Yeah
If I'm not mistaken, Thumper had his 33's on his truck before the lift. They were on aftermarket rims, but the tire still takes up the same amout of space. You just might not be able to get such a wide tire on the stock rims.

 

Can someone who was watching it link me too the auction. I am just curious about it. Thanks. I love my Rancho kit too.

 

another advantage to the larger tires is a 10% or more reduction of milage showing up on the truck, gives new meaning to the word extended warranty and better resale!!

 

I would like to see that because its close with factory tires.

 

I'm pretty sure those are 33's. There's a picture in his gallery where he trimmed his fenders, so it must be pretty close. I don't know what width they are, but I think a narrower tire would work without any trimming.

 

I am curious. Look at the rears even. Those have to rub in some tough off roading.

I wouldnt be too confident in 33s on stock suspension. I remember my friends jeep with 3 inches of lift, his 33s rubbed on his rear flares when we were thrashing in the mud.

 

That's awesome!!!! Would the rancho lift work on 2wd?? Or just stick with 3" skyjacker?

 

If Thumper would come back in here maybe we could get some answers...

 

Im pretty sure you could do 33s on the STOCK rim without a leveling kit. They'll probally rub during hard off-roading. I had 33x13x18 on my Helo Maxx 6s with the 2.5" Daystar. I still had to do a little trimming, nothing crazy though. However, I've never experienced any rubbing from the rear tires, its only been the fronts, mainly the drivers side. Before I got the 1-1/2" Autospring, I got a LITTLE rub from my 35" Mud Grapplers during hard off-roading. I hope this helps answers some questions.

 

No Rancho doesn't make a kit for the 2wd boys. Fabtech, Pro comp, Skyjacker...and more all do though. Who are they trying to kid, this really is a 6" lift if you think you are buying the Rancho for less height don't count on it. I bought it for the design and shocks.

 

Yeah thumper said it's really a 7" lift just about! so how much is the "skyjacker 3 inch" really like 5?

 

No, the Rancho is really 5-1/2" of lift.

However, I added a 1-1/2" Autospring which gave me 2 more inches up front.

 

so the skyjacker is ACTUALLY 3"?

 

Yes, I really wouldn't go with the Skyjacker 3" but thats a whole different thread and discussion.
