Hello all - I'll be taking delivery of a silver 2003 SE today, and as you might expect I've been spending a bit of time reading through the excellent FAQ's and forum that you folks have assembled here. Its quite a nice collection of info.
As such, I've come to the determination that I can run 265-70-16's on the stock wheels with little to no rubbing, which is nice.
Has anyone found a solution to the fading trim between the factory flares and fenders? Mine are all yellow, and if there were a way to get them back to body color, that'd be great.
I do have some questions about lifts.
First: I understand that if I go with a 2 inch lift, I have to use manual hubs up front in order to keep from blowing out CV boots, and eventually CV Shafts. I would assume then that if I have 4WD engaged (Off road, snow, etc) then I need to keep an eye on my CV boots - as they would prematurely wear while 4WD was engaged?
Second: I read that if you go with a 2 inch lift, you will experience "Clunking" or a topping out of the struts - is this with Every spring and strut combination?
Thirdly : I'd like to know if anyone has used the air lift 1000 w/the auto leveling kit @ 4x4Parts.com - that looks pretty interesting.
Thanks for reading, any and all responses are appreciated.
