Lift & Tires???
#10
NGABronco Wrote:Hey Nick, I wouldn't go past 35's, more street and I'd go 33's. Just my 2 cents!!! I put a 3.5 SL &2"BL on Stretch, well below body line and lots of room for the 35's. Don't remember if you have or not but go for the long radius arms!! You'll be glad!!!
Good luck!!

This is definitely gonna be a dedicated fun-mobile. no less than 35's acceptable. i want it to have decent street manners, i.e. run 60-70 top speed, and have positive steering, but i do expect it to drive like an offroad truck on the road. the above listed streetability goals do not deter from the fact that i want a flexy crawler on the trail with enough low end grunt to climb the steepest of hills. i know i am asking for the sun AND the moon there, but i really am not willing to give up anything in the offroad department. if streetability suffers a little then i will make peice with it. for some reason everytime i say 60% offroad/40% street, everyone always hears it the other way around... LOLConfusedcratchhe:

I am going to do longarms. im building them myself. they will be 8 inches over stock, built form 2" diameter 1/4" wall DOM (that charles was awesome enought o include in the payment for a recent sell i made to him, Thanks Charles!):notworthy:. The DOM will be welded and pinned to the stock Radius Arms close to the C's, and have Ruffstuff's 1.25" Heims at the other end.

To respond to all the advice listed here, i just ordered the Tom's 3.5" basic lift. that got me full springs shocks and nearly all of the cables lines and brackets. i hadnt wanted to need extended driveshafts, but i guess i'll see how that goes.

Crawdad came over today, and helped witha lot of the 2-man workhorse chores i needed to accomplish in order to progress, (Thanks Matt!) so as soon as my parts come in, i will be getting started on a rolling chassis. Confusedmokin:

Thanks for all the advice to all, im sure i made the right choice for the long run...:xyxthumbs:
