Pathfinder-jay Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hey guys just to make 100% sure... i read on the forums with a 3inch lift.... 33inch tires are a bit sketchy... they rub on turns etc? so im guessing 32 would be the max size id want for a 3 inch lift? Thanks Jay P.S. its the ac lift kit... billstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) yes. 3" suspension lift = 31" tires no rub 3" suspension lift = 32" tires will rub front fenders (need to trim them) 3" suspension lift + 3" body lift = 33" tire will rub front fenders (need to trim them) I know the wheel backspacing has an effect on how much the new tires will rub. I think you want them between 4" and 3.5" of backspacing. The closer to 4 they are, the less they rub on the fenders, but the inside of the rear tire may rub on the frame when you stuff a tire. I have a 3" sus lift with 31" tires and they do not rub anywhere, off road or on the road. I know if i put 32x11.5 tires on with my current setup that they'd rub the back of the front fender for sure. Get a body lift if you want to put big tires on. If I could do it again, I would have put the body lift on first, then the suspension lift. Edited July 23, 2007 by skrillaguerilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slick Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) welp..... king has 3" BL & 4" SL..... on 33's... and unfortunately, I rub the snot out of my bushwhacker flares when semi flexed and wheel turned (back of wheel facing "inside fender" will rub)...... and i have also managed to bend the fender itself. mods are needed for me. i have (i believe) 4" of BS. yes, my torsion bars are good. not sagging. mini came stock with 215x70x15's and damnit did she rub when i put the 31's on..... had to crank the t bars for her. i guess i just don't have much luck lol Edited July 24, 2007 by Slick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eglaisi_91pathy Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I just want a mild setup, would 3" BL + 32" tires be decent for wheeling but still OK for a DD? thanks, and sorry for threadjacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meangreenmachine Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 i have a 3" sl with 32-11.50 pro comps had to trim the fenders to keep them from rubing when turning tightly but it performs awesome off road and is my daily driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
