Default Lift questions :)

Ok so Im gonna be doing what I need to do to get 35x12.5's on my kota! I think I got it down BUT I had a few questions. If my TB has been cranked for that inch will the 3" keys from ebay be to much?

AND whats the minimum width I can mount 12.5" tires on? I have a set of stock 15" painted black but I need 16's for other plans I beleive that the stock 16's are 16x8, right?

You can mount 12.5's on a 8" rim and probably be absolutely fine. But a 9" would be a little better.

I think you'll be fine with 8 though. My friend has an 82 cj with 35x12.5s mounted on 15x8 cragars and never had a problem...

Ok thats good, I read a post on here a little while ago and a guy put some big sexy military tires that were 38x13.5 on the stock 16's so I figured id be fine but it needs to be safe and legit lol

now to find some wheels...

Anyone know about the torsion bar question?
