Talking So I Searched....

Ok I have been reading alot of threads on here and tons of great info for lifting. Here is my plans, i need some of this great advice.

Part# PRF543

From the people on here I wanna go with the crager soft 8s, now on this I would like a wider tire so what size rim should I go with?

Help me out on the back spacing stock is 6" the cragers are 4" so is this going to bring my tire out of the fender more?

Then of course the tire, I have been going back and forth. I will have two sets but on the cragers I want to go 33" mud terrains. You think it will fit with above mentions and fender trimming??

I will keep my original rims and plan on putting some new AT 32" tires for my trips to va
But day to day I only drive about 5-10 miles so 33" muds will be the go, please all advice good bad i want it all thanks so much.

Oh and is there any way Hanr3 could re up the img links in the "What Tires Will Fit" thread.


Thanks In Advance GUYS & GALS!!!

IMO the first kit is a waste of money. you cant crank the tbars more than 1.5in without putting a lot of stress on the front end components. Not sure for the body lift but i know people on here have done them before. With 4.5in of lift you will need to trim the fenders a lot for the tires not to rub. I have roughly 9in of lift with 33s and the still catch the front fenders with full compression.

well the first kit is kinda a give me. I need new shocks anyway and its a small price to pay for the difference between 4 shocks and the kit so well worth it for the 3". Was thinking the I would still be able to 1.5 adjustment to the torsion bars. Now how do I level the back with the torsion bars??
