well to your first question you can mount the tires on stock wheels because they have 4.5" of backspacing

to your second question i dont know how to contact people on craigslist. I hate when people dont give thier phone numbers is pointless. all you could do is to copy and post that ad and repost it asking for contact info and hope that he see's it

 

Stock wheels ARE 4.5" backspacing?? Then how come after market wheels stick out further?? How wide are my stock aluminum 16's do you know? I think they might be 8".........

All the Pro Comp Wheels are 4" backspacing..

And yea there is no phone number on that listing.....

 

stock 16's are 7" wide
stock 17's are 7.5" wide

the reason the tires stick out on a 16x10 is because they are 1.5" wider on each side. and the offset has to do with this but im a complete idiot when it comes to offset

 

Well I got ahold of the guy. Should I buy those for 200 if they are 4.5" backspacing??

 

yes if they are 4.5 then buy them and if you want them black then get them line-xed or powder coated that will only cost another 100-200 if you want later on!

 

Ok so for body lift. What is missing from the PA lift... Or does it include EVERYTHING? My truck is automatic with the electric 4x4...... I will get gab guards too.. But is there anything else I would need to purchase?

And if I can get these wheels. What tires would YOU put on them...

Yea I like the TSL Radials, but I would like something wider... Unless those are the cheapest ones I can get... Gah.. Cant have EVERYTHING I want... Money is the deciding factor with EVERYTHING

 

The Performance Accessories Body Lift will provide everything needed. You will need some specif tools that i can look up for you if you would like.

if it was me in your situation id put on the Buckshots, but since you really like them then id go with something from the Interco line.

OR

Mickey Thompson Baja Claws these tires are a directional tire but they are also a very well made. Id take a look at them in 315/75/16

ill get a pic of these

 

heres the Mickey Thompson Baja Claws

 

Hey they are 4.5" backspacking. The guy has 35/13.5/16 Mickey Thompson Baja Claws and a 6" suspension lift too he is selling. He is selling his truck and taking the lift and everything off.. Maybe I can score some used wheels and tires CHEAP along with the lift? Im waiting for him ti respond about the tires and lift.

 

if you can get all of it then do it! even if you have to spend your whole budget on it. It will be WORTH it.

you can always save up for lockers and gears later down the road. and add the 3" Body Lift to that and run some 38's (thats my plans)

38.5x11.5x16" Boggers will eventually be on my truck probably 2 years away.

 

Well im not getting my hopes up, but im hoping he still has his lift and tires. And that they are BOTH in decent shape.. I done care even if the tires have 25% tread I will still get them...

 

yeah well im off to bed ill check up with you tomorrow.

and if you can read the code that you have inside the door and tell me what it says under "AXLE" and ill let you know what gears you have and if its got the stock limited slip. If you dont already know.

 

Well I would check if I could, I am in Kentucky at the moment at my dads house and the truck is at my moms in Nebraska... I should be back home soon.. The truck has been sitting in the same spot for 3 months lol...

Ok ima go to slee now too its almost 1 here.... Just trying to learn all this crap... I do this all the time. With our quads, dads cummins, I learn alot of stuff via the internet... But i ASK questions alot, so I can figure things out/learn... If you hadnt noticed haha.. Well im goin to sleep, later

Take it easy

 

And YES it had, HAD limited slip.. The limited slip is GONE now.... Doesnt really work anymore lol... Bald tires on snow and ice plus a heavy foot with a bunch of teenagers in open fields and vacant parkinglots..... Yea.... Lets just say... It doesnt work anymore... Haha...That truck has gone through and still goes...

 

haha thats funny my LS takes a beating also.

so anyword yet on the lift tires and wheels?
