nissandoms47 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 it cut thru my skin, the tendon and some @!*% under that. its a semi circle cut but 3/4s of the way around. i guess i sgoulda wore gloves but its one of those things where its like wtf??? good thing im left handed this wont stop any production of the lifts. im still waiting on the guy to cut those flanges and send them to me. his engineer is out and theyre busy.but its nothing hard to do for him. he had to make a CAD and all that.

That looks painful to say the least. I'd say best thing to do is heal up! I speak for myself when I say the SFD can wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekazgtr1984 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 With this SFD, I'll be able to clear what width of tire if I go with 33's? I'll be wrapping them around 15" wheels so I'm just curious as to width and backspacing in terms of the wheels and tires. Any helpful would be great!

01silvapathy Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Well what I have been been told is that alex is running 33x 12.5 km2's on a 15 inch wheel with 3.75- 4 inch backspace. But alex said that if you run a AT you should technically be able to run a 35 if its low enough Dont Quote me on any of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest I'll go is 33x12.5 as they seem to fit just right. I'm more concerned about backspacing on the wheels but thanks for the info. Always good to know!

You know you can always do what I'm planning on doing: cut the hell outta the front fenders. As long as I don't come up to the snorkel (thtas right my friends no more hydro-lock for me I aquired a slightly used Navarro Safari snorkel) then I'm straight.

As long as I don't come up to the snorkel (thtas right my friends no more hydro-lock for me I aquired a slightly used Navarro Safari snorkel) then I'm straight. Well I have plans to fab up custom bumpers for the front and rear so I suppose fender clearance will be worth exploring too. For the rear I'm not too worried so I'll focus on the front. But first and foremost I'll have to figure out exactly the best fit for 33's. And yes, snorkels are the shiznit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekazgtr1984 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 He is accurate in regard to the D22 snorkel fitting the R50. Just ask Vengeful; he's got one on his '99. The 4x4parts.com R50 snorkel is the perfect fit; but look at the little notch for the antenna! Kinda pointless unless it's a RHD R50... Looks sorta dumb with no antenna there.
