Achieving 3"-6" of lift on 1990 S15 Jimmy
Does anyone know how I can achieve enough lift to fit 32" tires without fender trimming? Or where I can get a Fabritech SAS kit?

those lind of lifts are available all over from almost every company. just keep searching. you just have to experiment. i have a 2in tbar crank and a 2in body lift on my 96 and just fit 33s on it but i had to do some good trimming.

What kind of trimming?
#4
just cut the fenders and the inner wheel wells.
nothing to dramatic.

ahh so basically the stuff that can be covered with fender flares?

What I have seen done and what I plan on doing, is this.
Cut out a pie shapped wedge behind the edge of the fender. Then you can just hammer the edge of the fender back into the newer angle and wolia! Clean smooth edge.
Then slap your trim, flares, whatever on and no ones the wiser. Then just get yer BFH and hammer back the wheel well level with the cut fender edge. And seal the seam with something to keep water and such from getting behind the wheel well.

So wait, cut a pie shaped wedge inside of the wheel well?

No behind the fender opening, let me find the link that I got the idea from. It's an old mod from this site that done it.

thats basically what i did with mine but i needed a really big hammer to clear. my tires are 12in wide and my backspacing id only 3.75in. i still rum on the frame at lock but thats not a really big deal.
