TeagueAuto Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Whats up guys and gals im Aaron from Millport, Al I got a 97 4X4 160,000 miles I picked up a few months ago for my wife. All ive done to it so far is new 31x10.5 mud tires, rack and pinion bushings, wheel bearings, seat covers and a new radio with 2 12" subs. My wife wants to lift it so this week im ordering a leveling kit for it until I can afford a sfd and some 35's with beadlock wheels. Mostly right now though we are just enjoying riding the few trails we have and just cruising backroads for now, anyways on with pics! When I bought it New tires and some just flexing around the yard!

CDN_S4 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Welcome. Nice colour! You will need significant trimming and other mods to fit 35's on this! Be advised that the 3.3 is not very strong to begin with, re gearing would be highly recommended for 35's.

CDN_S4 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 35's still would only fit with trimming the front fenders and I'm quite sure the rear too as lifting it pushes the rear wheels forward. I'm currently on a 4" SFD with lift coils and on 33's and my rears are pretty close to the fenders towards the front. I'm quite sure 35's would rub. Besides, IMO 33's are the PERFECT size for the R50. If you want to see 35's, look up CNAM's ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeagueAuto Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Ok so I been looking around at shock options, I know rancho's suck and kyb's are what most people run but what about the pro comp es3000's has anyone ever ran these? http://www.carparts.com/details/Univ/Pro_Comp/Shock_Absorber_and_Strut_Assembly/E37321508.html My buddy had some on his bronco and they were pretty comfortable and stout off-road I just haven't seen anyone with them on a pathy.
