The Body Lift Thread

[Swims350]

man this thread is great. exactly what I had in mind 315's on stockers of aftermarket chrome wheels and a body lift or possible crank. I can't wait to get a BL and some 35's.

I am going to order the 3" BL off Summit with both front and rear brackets. With just the BL and no cranking what is the biggest size tire I can fit without any problems?

33s or a metric 34"

EDIT: what size rim?

As long as its a 16x10 or skinnier that'll work

does any body have any pics of the fan shroud spacer, my truck came with a body lift and whoever installed it just cut the bottom of the shroud off. It does alright on the road but when i go on the beach it gets a little bit warm.

A little bad news for ya. The fan shroud spacer isn't going to help keep your truck cooler. I found this out last year too, after I installed my 3" BL. I ended up buying a new radiator, fan, fan clutch, tried 2 or 3 different thermostats, and driving down the road it stayed cool, but as soon as I went offroad, it would start running hot. The problem is, when you lifted the body, the radiator went with it. Now your stock fan is still in the original location, making it to where it only blows on the lower half of your radiator. Time for some e-fans.

That's what I had in mind, if I went with a 15" rim would I be able to go wider?

why would you want to go wider than a 10" wide wheel...you wouldnt be able to fit any wider of a tire onto the truck anyways so there is no need to have a wheel wider than x10
