Someone Tell me If I'm Making Sense.

I have the Bullseye Spindle Lift on my truck. In the instructions it stated that the largest usable tire size with just the spindles was 33x12.5 . So if I added the 3 inch body lift wouldn't 35's fit? I'm only filling the wheel well another inch right? Two inches larger diameter= one Inch filled in well? I don't plan on heavy offroad use so travel isin't too much of an issue. And I'm not against moderate Trimming.

Sounds right to me, you could compare your ride height to a stock 97 or later 4x4 and measure from the ground to the center of the wheelwell. Just a quick and ditry way to see if you are higher than a stock 4x4. I know for a fact that 33's fit with no rubbing on a stock 4by. Logic would only follow that if you are at least 1" higher than a 4x4 then your 35's will make it.

I was wondering where I can find those Bullseye spindles and how much they cost. I have a 2x4 and i want to lift it up and i have never heard of raised spindles. Are they a good way to lift the truck?

Yes, from what I can tell they are a good way to lift your 4x2. They keep the suspension geometry the same as Oem. No problems out of mine so far. You'll have to lift the rear too. I used a 1" block. I paid $630.00 or so for spindles, Rear blocks and U bolts. From Offroad Warehouse in San Diego, Oh yeah that included shipping to Louisiana. Summit racing also has them.

Ole Blue, don't mean to disagree with you, but I have 33" Super Swampers and they rub on turns. Maybe it's because of the thick lugs? Don't know for sure why, but do know they rub. Until I get the body lift installed, that is.

Ole Blue, I am running 285.75.16 BFG A/T's and mine rubbed quite a bit on both sides when the tires were almost all the way turned.

Awww heck, and I thought you lived local. Well you do really...locally in the U.S.!:-)
I will have to mark my calendar for that Rally in April. It's about a 19 hour drive for me.

Hey did you see that post by Roger Lemere on the mailing list for the Poweraid? Do they make one for our 4.2's?
