Hello All, Newbie here. Like to start by saying hey everyone.
I have read alot of useful info here. So i joined up .
First let me say its my luck I got one of the 2005's with vibration problems. Its in the shop as I write this. I returend it to stock till they can get the vibration resolved accept the intake.I saw that alot of guys where clearing 35"
tires with the 2.5 daystar lvl kit so i threw one on there thinking I wouldnt have any trouble clearing a 33" tire on some 20x10 951 moto metals with i believe 4.75 backspaceing. I was wrong . I also installed helper springs on the back since i do alot of towing.Which gave about one inch of lift on the back making for what I think is a tough looking stance. Woundering if any there was any other way besides the torsion bars that i can pick up about a half inch on the front. Any advice would be appreciated even if its telling me to get off my wallet and go with a 6" lift LOL.

 

If you only need a 1/2 inch then just crank the torsions.

 

Guess SO
Ive heard that that makes for some loud poping when hitting good size bumps. Any truth in that?

 

No mine don't pop and mine are up all the way.

 

None what-so-ever. If you hear a poping noise check pitman/idler arms.

 

Cranking the t-bars would be a good idea, if you had them. The 2005's dont have torsion bars, they have a coil-over suspension.
I dont know why you wouldnt be able to fit a 33" tire WITH the leveling kit...where is it rubbing? You should be able to fit a 33" with the stock suspension, maybe with some slight rubbing (at full turn) since you have wider wheels. Although, it is sounding like you have a 4x2, which might explain things...

In any case, you could always just go with a body lift...alot cheaper than a suspension lift, and it should give you the clearance you need.

 

Good point Johngs I wasn't even thinking about that. I got so caught up in wondering why he was against cranking the torsions a half inch I forgot I was talking about a 05.

 

Hey, Ive done it before as well

 

His fitment problems are because of the 10 inch wide wheels with 4.75 inches of backspacing. I'd suggest a body lift or a different wheel that is slightly narrower or has a lot more backspacing.

Ditto. Also, there's no idler arm or pitman arm to check on a rack and pinion steering either....

Thought it was because of the 10w 4.75 backspacing. Not going to get rid of the wheels though they look tough as H@!!.Guess im just going to have to go bigger

 

If I were you I would go with a Body lift. That would be your cheapest option to clear your new wheels and tires.
