pathyboy12 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 So it'd be good to replace my rear shocks? When you say you didnt use the spacers, does that mean the stock struts are an okay length even when its lifted? Is that right? Im on a college-kid budget right now, so Im not sure how much of a mod I can afford at the moment. Would that do some damage to my rig to hold off on the new shocks for now? Heres a pic of what Ive done so far: Found this bumper at a junkyard and built some mounts for it/welded it on over Christmas break. it depends how bad your shocks are, couldnt hurt. i put the KYB struts on with the OEM strut mounts and it does just fine, but if your not paying attention to spped pumps and you hit em to fast your struts top out and make an amazingly awsome sound it also depends on the stock struts if there used? and how much there already sagging and worn. btw nice lookin pathy, me and a friend are making one here soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow4me Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 LOOKS AWESOME!!! Couple questions... 1) What back space did you go with on your wheels? 2) Why did you only run a 31 inch tire? 3) Did you order the complete kit from AC? 4) How do the 15 inch wheels fit around your front calipers? Awesome job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laxman0324 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Only 99.5+ have problems fitting 15" wheels. Early model R50s came stock with 15's so putting on another set is a matter of getting the correct backspacing, not whether the wheels fit over the calipers.

pathyboy12 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 do you have any rubbing with those tires? why did you go with 15in wheels? no, no rubbing at all... i choose tires that i could flex in and everything. i went with 15 cause i couldnt find any 16 with the right BS, i was first gonna get 16x10 and 265/75/r16, but to complicated to find right specs and all... then i went 15x8 and 31/10.5/r15, i really like the pro comp rock crawler series.. solid wheel, good price and look great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
