Allright so I'm finally done with motor mods and programmers, so now it's time to get the stance I want. My truck is an '01 2WD SCAB. I am thinking 1.5 inch leveling blocks up front and add a leafs in the rear with a 3" body lift to clear 35's or the metric equivalent as I didn't find a 35 on BFG's website for a 16 inch rim. My rim choice is the AR 767 16x10. So my questions are will I clear that tire with my proposed lift or am I stuck in 33 land? How much rub will I have? Will it be tolerable, or too much? And last, what gear ratio will get me back to where I need to be. I think my truck has an open diff and I will likely go with and air locker. Oh hell and what is the metric equivalent of a 35?

 

No, you can't fit a 35x12.50 (315/75-16) on a 4x2 with only a 1.5 inch spacer and a 3 inch body lift, especially with a 10 inch wide wheel. That lift will put you at about the same height as a stock 4x4 with the torsion bars cranked up. I'd stick with a 33x12.50 (305/70-16). Even with 33's you are gonna have to trim your front bumper's lower plastic valance for clearance.
As for gears, what is your stock ratio. There should be a tag on the differential.

 

Thanks.... not what I wanted to hear, but a good start. Havent looked at my stock ratio yet. I'm assuming I'm correct that the BFG AT doesnt come in a 33x12.5x16?

 

BFG makes a 305/70-16 which is a 33x12.50-16.

 

Hey if you want to fit 35s go with a fabtech 7in suspension lift for $1250, thats what i have on my 01 extended cab f150 with trXus mt, it looks awesome, im in iraq right now but when i get back im changing out the gears.

 

Sucks your in Iraq, my unit will never deploy, just sit here at Bliss on our asses. I would go with a suspension lift, but the dough just isnt there right now
