    So, how bad of an idea is it

    OK, the way it works is, the brass thing that the arrow is pointing to is supposed to be INSIDE the hitch. its an anti wobble thing. you tighten down the bolt next to it, and it presses up against the top of the reciever.

     

    The reason I can't just drill a hole in the rack, is because it it not for a regular hitch pin. The hole in the rack is threaded, and a bolt goes through one side of the reciever and threads into the rack, pulling it tight against the side of the hitch.

     

    This is a moot point now anyway, because I went out there and looked, and there is no real way to drill a new hole in the hitch anyway.

     

    On to plan B......................who has a plan B?

    So do people by body lifts or higher suspensions to raise their cars?  Is one better than the other?

     

    Someone in the forum (sorry I don't remember) told me that r50s don't have frames so a body lift is not an option.  So if we don't have frames, then what do we have?

    I dont know the technical jargon, but basically, instead of a body on frame, our body & frame are one (attached), hence you cant lift the body alone... so we're stuck with suspension lifts...

    which isnt necessarily a bad thing. from what I understand, suspension lifts are better for your vehicle, and they give you better ground clearance :)

    You're looking at $600-$1000 for the lift and another $500-$600 for a set of 31's. Even more if you want 32's or bigger, then you need new rims too.

     

    Automotive Customizers is the only place I know for R50 lifts. I have the 2" kit for my 97. It actually gave me 2.5" front, and 2.75" rear.

     

    I just recetly put new rims and tires 32" BFG AT KO's and some American Racing Outlaws

    did you have to trim any for those tires to fit?

    I have come to realize the only real lift out there is the AC lift kit.

     

    I know I'm going to get one soon, just don't know which one. This truck is my daily driver, and I plan to put BFG A/Ts on it. I go to the mountains a lot, as I race Downhill mountain Bikes.

     

    Any suggestions for which lift to get? Like I said, Its my daily Driver, and I see myself becoming a weekend warrior, but I work A LOT. I work weeks and weekends, so I'm going to try and get up to the mountains or some trails as much as possible. My work drive is about 50 miles a day, all highway.

     

    That being said, whats the biggest size of BFG A/Ts I can fit on one of those lifts with no rubbing? I want to keep my current stock 16" rims. Could I fit the LT235/85R16/E?

     

    Thanks all :)
