Hey guys, I know it can be done and that it has been done. But I want to see pics or hear from someone that has actually put 315/70R17's on a torsion bar cranked 97-03 4x4. I might consider doing this because you can get factory takeoffs from an H2 so cheap.

 

Where do you get them cheaply? I need 4 new ones..

 

found a set of Wrangler Extreme AT's on eBay for $600. And if you have a local Hummer dealer call them up, if they have some they will sell them, or at least my local dealer does.

 

great... thanks!

 

Old body style needs a body lift to tuck 35's doesn't it?

 

well, with stock rims, it can be done...it is tight I believe but I know it has been done. I don't know if I will do or not, but just trying to get feedback from somebody that has actually done it.

 

I've seen it done... I can't remember where though. I'll try to dig it up.

 

it can be done but that doesnt always mean it should be.

i have seen it multiple times in person and it looks kinda crammed.

id opt for a 3" body lift and 35" tires it will flow better for only about $200 more

 

You can mount 35x12.50's on a stock 97-03 4x4 by using the oem wheels but they will rub the frame slightly at full steering lock.

 

I ran 35x12.5x17 BFG AT's on my stock rims with just the T-Bars Cranked, I only had them on for a month before it drove me mad with the tires rubbing the frame and my front lower valiance, even after extensive trimming. I ended up putting the body lift on and then went back to 35's.

Just my experience.

 

There we go. That is the info I was looking for. definitely not going this route.

 

Body lifts are cheap and pretty easy on our body style, I pretty much did mine by myself over a weekend. Because our frame doesn't hang so low, they don't look horrible like they do on chevy's

 

I know, I definitely don't have anything against body lifts and have wanted to do one for a while, but........I probly won't do it still. Don't really want to have to buy new wheels, etc. and hauling my fourwheeler would be a pain in the tail to load.

 

I understand the loading thing, my truck basically lived to haul toys around, I had a set of 8' folding ramps and they worked great for the quad. I have the added bonus of the step-side, where my raptor only had about 1" on either side of quad for clearance!

 

you dont have to get new wheels with a body lift and your quad shouldn't be to hard to loud. i load my dirtbike in the back of my truck with a 6" lift and a 1 1/2" AAL in the rear. and you just ride a quad up it wont be as bad as you think
