skulptr Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 depends on your rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Wheels. Depends on your wheels. Tyler M. (tmorgan) ran 35's on his R50 when he had the SFD with no problem. I think he ran up to 38's (someone will correct me. Maybe he willfinally show up again or Michiganave will chime in). Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skulptr Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) at least a 3.75" bs, possible spacers if your a little cheaper like some of us Edited October 11, 2010 by skulptr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanAK Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 at least a 3.75" bs, possible spacers if your a little cheaper like some of us I think you need at least 3.5" or 3.25" BS for 35" tires, Or yes you can use spacers or a combo of spacers and BS.

exit34rocker1017 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 i wouldnt run 35's on just the SFD unless you wanna cut a lot. 33's will still look great with only a 4" SFD. if you stack AC springs on top of the SFD, 35's will look great!

01silvapathy Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Im going to run 35's once I get my kit figured out and thats with a 4in sfd and 2in coils. But you would want to run a 33 at max with just the sfd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fukinitupagain Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) BS of a wheel would only matter if you plan on running a wide tire. If you'd run something like 35x10.5 you wouldn't need a low amount of BS but if you'd run like a 33x12.5 you'd still need a rim that was like 10" wide with like 3.5" of BS no matter if it was 33" or 35" tall. Height is a matter of fender clearance, width is a matter of strut clearance. And BTW who cares what it "looks like" as long as it performs well.

qx4paulo Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 you guys with the ac coils and the sfd what are you running as a rear coils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddfildvaynes Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) what did u use to lift the rear.... I ordered custom rear coil springs copying the coils tmorgan has in his beast from coil springs.com which I believe i ordered at 4.9" in diameter to fit my spring perch and 6" over stock height with a spring rate of 180lbs but in the end it sagged a extra inch so i added a 1" rubber coil leveling spacer which evened it out. Right now its just sitting in my driveway un til i can do some wheel bearings, raises, and new seals... The mud and water takes its toll.

qx4paulo Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 what did that run you $$ is it still possible to have another set made? how does your truck drive handle compared to stock... mine is driving like ass (not from the sfd) the rear 4 link bushings are shot and the rear axle is all over the place during breaking and accel... really wanna try two more inches of lift but im a bit worried.. does the steering have to be extended even more (after sfd extension) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference my order number is 1872 with them if you want to get another set made it took 2 months to get mine in I believe. I love how my truck handles I have no rear sway bar and beefed up the front sway bar with getting some custom grease able heavy duty sway bar end links made... since it is IFS in the front and it doesn't really flex I just leave my front sway bar connected all the time. There is definitely a noticeable difference but not to much.... You just can't take sharp turns fast..... But when I get on the trail I have so much flex in my rear axle that I make some jeep owners jealous lol. That is no good, I am actually trying to get a set of 4links made right now because my bushings are going to be on there way out soon; its just a little more money than it would be to put new bushings plus it will re-center my axle. And then I have to get a drive shaft made. I personally wouldn't go higher than your 4" SFD because not only will the steering have to be extended more but your brake lines and a couple other lines along with causeing unwanted stress on your drivetrain and might have to get a front drive shaft made.... Plus your stock 4link will only handle 6" of lift unless you get another built and if you lift the front 2" more it will be raked.... I am actually doing research on a SAS right now which should give me about 8"-9" and the benefits of a solid axle helps! Anyways I will quit my rambling and if you have any other questions let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well unless you use 2" lift coils like AC... I am running a 4" SFD with 2" AC lift coils so 6" of toal lift and I am running 34x10.5x15 super swampers, was this what you were talking about?... Are you talking about doing a 6" SFD or adding 2" coil spacers and you have the 2" AC lift coils? I think i got confused but please clarify....

So my question is with a four inch subframe drop lift the biggest tire i can fit are 33 s just curiouse because sliverpathy was running 33's with just the 2" ac coils... So i think im going to pick up a set of 33's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i think im going to pick up a set of 33's You can run upto a 36 it all depends on how much trimming you want to do..... Silverpathy probably had to do a good ammount of trimming and tucking to fit 33's the way he did.... With a 4" SFD you should be able to run 33's no problem Edited October 13, 2010 by muddfildvaynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddfildvaynes Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Here is my rig, like I said I am running 34x10.5x15 Super Swampers but I did my trimming before I ever lifted it... When it was stock I threw a pair of 31x10.5x15 mud terrains on it and had to do some good trimming to get them to fit and then I have never had to trim it since even with the tires I am running.

MichiganAve Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Tyler ran 35x12.5, however he had 2" AC coils plus 4.5" spacers and did a lot of cutting. That is a lot of lift. On mine with 2.5" spacers and 2" AC coils I had to do a lot of cutting to get 35x12.5 to fit. Also required some massaging of the struts up front. And putting in longer rear bumpstops to prevent contact when flexing. I have aftermarket bumpers front and rear so I can't tell you how much trouble stock would have been. Backspacing is of course part of the equation as mentioned above. And tire width. IE 34x10.5 probably would have fit easier than 33x12.5 Good luck.

couvboy Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 So, assuming that we have sufficient backspace to clear the front struts (3.25" or 3.5" or whatever), will we still run into issues with tucking the rear tires? I'm looking to get a set of cheap steelies with 2.5" of backspace--will my wheels hit the fender when the rear axle flexes? Or is this amount of flex too far-fetched?

Zibi Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 If I recall maxstryker ran 37s. I think when you're getting in to that size though you'd be more worried about breaking axles than rubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when you're getting in to that size though you'd be more worried about breaking axles than rubbing. Oh yeah Max did indeed run 38x13.5 I believe? Obviously there was some trimming involved and shock relocation....he also had like big xj lift coils as well as a 5in sfd BE A MAN AND GO WITH 38's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
