The Body Lift Thread

Hey guys I'm running a 2wd 96 and want to put a 3" body and I alread have a spacer to level. What's the max size tire I could run with only trimming some bumper? I already have the valence gone. I would love to do 33x12.5x15 but prolly rub?

You should be able to do it with trimming.

I need opinions guys: do you think I can run 35's without cranking? Or even with? I am currently sitting on 285/75/16 with some wide rims (16X11 is what the tire guy said when he was mounting them) I am not sure of the backspacing, but maybe the pics will help someone guess.

I'm just trying to confirm that I can run 315/75/16 on here

All these pics are of my driver's side, front tire

tires straight forward

cranked towards the left, the back of my tire currently comes this close

about how much my tire sticks out right now

cranked towards the right, this is the closest it gets to my bumper/valence- u can see where I trimmed some just for 285's

general front pic- maybe some one can guess my offset/backspace from these pics

cranked towards the right, viewed from the wheel well looking towards the grill. I'm not even close to the frame, so that shouldn't be an issue at all

any opinions would be great! I really want to run 315's, I just want to get some input before I buy.

I posted this same thing in my build thread >>> so you can go there too

you should be able to with cranking easy IMO

Im runing 305/70r16s with just a 2 Inch block in the rear and crank, 16x8 wheels with 0 offset, no rubbing whatsoever

I run 315's with the same angles. And a little trimming on the valence til I said screw it and took it off. A little rubbing full flex

As wide as those wheels are and high negative offset, you'll have to worry about rubbing on the inside.

inside? do you mean my fenders or my frame?
