Pretty self explanitory!

Has anyone on here with a second gen done it? I did use the search but only found first gen pics and they werent the prettiest jobs.

I want to fit 285/75/16s (32.8x11.2") cooper at's. They waiting for me to pull the trigger on.....along with afew other....goodies

best part is..I have saved up and can afford it now

 

Your best bet would be a body lift or indexed torision keys and rear blocks. The way the fenders are made in these trucks im not sure you could cut them without it looking horrible and being a mess.

 

Yeah you cant cut much on the fender im running 32x1150.15 bfg's on my truck and just have my torsion bars cranked only rub I get is on the frame at full turn

 

how much are you tbars cranked? eg how much lift did you get out of them and how does it ride.

 

Mine arent the whole way cranked I still have about maybe a 1/2in I can go up in the front. I gained about 1 3/4 - 2in. It handles on the road great, off road it isnt bad little bit more bumpy but thats expected when you tighten torsion bars. I didnt go as high as I could up front because then my rear would of been lower so I would need add a leaf or something to give me some more height back there.

 

i have blocks and my t bars cranked i got 2 1/4 about. maybe more. i can fit 285s, and them coopers only being ats they shouldnt rub, now if they had larger ***** then probably, they dont ride that bad after doing the lift, i bought my lift for 150 and put it on myself, my friend paid to do his and a garage did it for 150 which is cheap.

 

Obviously we have differentish rides but I installed a 2 inch lift for 80 bucks. 50 for new Chevy lowering shackles in the back and 30 for grade 8 nuts and bolts.

 

I have 285 Kelly Safari TSRs on my 04 with just a little t-bar crank. I had to trim 1inch of the front bumper valance and a little plastic on the inner fender. No probs except occasionally on full turns with articulation

 

yeah you'll be fine cooper ats are not that agressive of tread, they should fit after t bars are cranked

 

Well didnt take to long to realize after think of how long it would take to make a cut job look nice might as well spend the money for a body lift.

Anyone install the 3" PA kit? what was involved?

*I did read the PA install guidlines but noticed they were for a jeep* Heres my list, anyone have anything to add?

-truck's steering linkage dosnt seem like it would need to be touched
-plenty of brakeline tubing around the booster...easy to slack up
-fuel filler may have to be adjusted
-bumpers would need relocation brackets..most likely included.
-any other lines, cables, things that i have to worry about?

the 4"s of lift (bl+tires) would sure look good when its all said and done
