Zraver Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Finally added some lift (2.5"), took off the step sides and front mud flaps and put on some 33's (32.9) on my 01 R50. I used 2" wheel spacers in the front to clear the strut tower, none in the back. It was transformative and I can't believe I waited this long. https://i.imgur.com/9qpFgwr.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kZafWQs.jpg Edited February 25, 2018 by Zraver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Pathmaker Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Sweet! 285/75's I assume? Were the 2" wheel spacers necessary, or could they clear with 1" or 1.5"? Any rubbing? What lift did you go with? Sorry for all the questions, but I've just retired my 01 from DD duty and it's due for a suspension overhaul. Mine is the same color combo and wheels, so I'm very inspired now! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zraver Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 Sorry for the delay, I live in Arkansoggy (formerly known as Arkasnas). We've had 14 inches of rain here in the past week. My 300zx flooded out and will be a total loss and a tree fell through my fiance's house so I've been moving her in with me. 1. They should clear with 1.5"2. Significant rubbing of the fender liner against the firewall. I will need to trim or melt.3. Ruyoken/ Supreme Suspensions for the spacers and sfcreation1 off of eBay for the lift. I think he is a member here. His lift installed without further modding needed on my part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01Pathmaker Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 No worries, sorry to hear about all that mess, we're currently bracing for a "potentially life threatening" nor'easter here, heavy rain turning to snow & 40-50mph winds gusting to 70! Thanks for the info! Stay safe and best wishes in the recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zraver Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Had to remove the bottom 1/4 of the fender flair and roll in the bottom part of the fender using a small hammer to stop the rubbing. Also it is a natural mud strap with out the fender liner to post wheeling washes will be a must. Also at full droop I have cv axel binding so some limiting straps will be getting installed in short order and it means I likely need to add front lockers sooner rather than later since my articulation will be compromised. Overall still worth doing for the increased ground clearence and wider foot print. Really wish some one still made sub frame drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
