[To those of you with a 4" sub frame drop]

I am using stock tires at the moment, 255/65R16 with the tri-spoke stock rims (backspace 4.25). I was thinking about 235/85r16 pizza cutters to avoid having to use spacers. I don't trust them, but I'll use them if I have to. There's always the option of new rims which I would assume to be way more expensive than spacers, but without the worry. Like a girl trying to pick out a prom dress I just can't decide.

[To those of you with a 4" sub frame drop]

I have a lifted 2002 R50 (4" krfabs SFD with stock coils up front, 3" lifted WJ coils in back with F-250 monomaxes out back). I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to find sold information about tire sizes in regards to SFD r50s. It seems most of the information has to do with AC or OME 2" lifts. I am trying to avoid wheel spacers up front (this is seeming less and less likely). There just seems to be a ton of mismatched info out there, a lot of which are just opinions.

 

So, my questions to those of you with a SFD are:

1)What's your shock/lift setup?

2)What size tires are you running?

3)Did you encounter any problems with your tire/lift setup?

4)Anything you would have done differently?

 

Thanks in advance

EDIT: I realize I've asked a similar question before, but if I remember correctly I only got 1 reply then I went off topic

They reference the rear blocks as having R and L on them in the manual too, but there were no marking on anything. . I was also missing a bunch of 9/16ths nuts. . I guess my kit was assembled on a Friday.

I've had to flip my strut spacers which has greatly improved the situation. It's not perfect, I still have positive camber, but at least now it's fixable with camber bolts. The stock ones don't appear to be adjustable. It would have helped a lot if they marked the spacers.

 

I'm going to order some bolts from AC and make it perfect.

 

Thanks for all the replies!

Yes, that's what I thought should happen. Nothing changes other than the drop. (and the steering rack angle). So I put everything together and I have a crazy positive camber on both wheels. I wonder if I put the strut spacer upside-down or something dumb like that. The camber angles seem to be perfectly evenly horrible. I'm going to check it today to see if flipping it helps.

Forgive my newbieness , but wasn't the subframe drop supposed to negate the need for camber bolts and alignments? Can't help but think that I messed up somewhere.

[Sub-frame drop questions.]

1. Alignment : YES. I run AC 2" lift springs with camber adjustment kit and KRFabs 4" drop in front without the swaybar.

 

2. Wheels/Tires : I run Goodyear MTR's w Kevlar on rock crawlers 15x8. Tires are 35x12.5x15r. Had to do some trimming and hammering. Also run 2" wheel spacers all the way around.

 

The reason I ask is that according to KRFabs, I shouldn't need an alignment since nothing has changed (aside from maybe the steering rack). I can see it's way out of line though. I haven't done AC or OME lift on top of the SFD.

I recently installed the krfabs 4" SFD on my 2002. I want to ask anyone with experience:

1)Did you need to have an alignment (camber is off on mine)

2)What size tires/wheels are you running?
