LukeB Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Will I need a 3in. Body Lift and a 3in. Suspension or will the Body Lift clear them for now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverton Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 If you don't mind massaging the body work just a smidge, they fit at stock height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSlowReliable Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 get the suspension lift, its much more useful than a body lift (for wheeling purposes, raises the entire frame & such) if your you're only going to get one, otherwise get both, you will thank yourself for it later. The combination make the vehicle alot easier to work on, will make your life alot easier for wheeling, as well as fitting tires/wheels. If you simply can't afford to do both, wait until you can, you will thank yourself for it later, spending a weekend doing it all versus having half done now, half done later. If you're worried you will have trouble doing the suspension lift, trust me, its easy. Short answer- yes, it will do for now, but will be more of a headache than just waiting to put on the 33s until you have the full lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSlowReliable Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 If you don't mind massaging the body work just a smidge, they fit at stock height. just a comparison of 3" vs 3"+3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) just a comparison of 3" just 33's vs 3"+3" and 33's fixed. Though it should be noted. Only 33x10.50's will work at stock ride height. if you want to do 33x12.50's you need to do at least a body lift. Even with a suspension lift, I think some "modification" to the foot box is required.

LukeB Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 I have the 3" body lift already. I was going to install and wait for the Suspension since it is another $700. I actually think the BL will be more of a pain. For it to not look really awkward you pretty much have to get an aftermarket bumper huh lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverton Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'm surprised he hasn't broken anything. 35's are way too big and like to break stuff in our weak IFS systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 From what I've heard that happens with 33's.. Yeah, that's true. You can keep it together a little longer a good set of UCAs, and some quality ball joints that are all greased regularily. The fact is, though, that no matter what, it's all band aid solutions. To be honest, it's not so much the suspension, as the steering that really sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
