Ok guys, just got done putting on my new tires lift and rims.

Topgunz 2" level kit for the front

Procomp 16" Extreme Alloy 1023's

Nitto Terra Grapler 315/75/R16 (measures 34.6)


total cost 1300 and change

You may recognize the rims, JDcovert is the only other fella that has these that I have seen so far. He has a white sport

Let me know what you think... I am thinking 2 things

A: my front springs have some sag to them, with the level kit, the front end is still down an inch when compared to the back.
B: I think I should have went with 305/75/R16's instead of the 315's ..

I rub SLIGHTLEY and full lock full flex (tested on a train bed/railroad tracks) other then that the ride is GREAT and absolultey no hum at all.

I can still roast these tires, so the 4.10's are still pretty happy with the big tires.

I have some wonder left to right. but since I know my t-bar is shot, Im not worried about it. the new DT profab t-bar is going on really soon, dreading it since it looks like a severe PITA. Contemplating on sending these back and getting 305's instead, or going with a 2" body lift, the amount of money I would have to spend on sending out these tires and reordering another set, i would end up spending the same as the body lift.

anyway... opinions wanted!

Nice!
I like the rims. what are 4-4.5" backspacing?

Im not going to give any advice as to what you should do because mine opinion would be sway over to going higher because of offroading. LOL

Just wondering, where are you rubbing?

 

I also like the 1 inch lower in the front better than level look.

 

4" of backspacing, which I was hoping that it would have helped me since the stock rims are 4.5" BS. But no dice. I am rubbing on the inner fender well, mostly on the drivers side (heaver side with the fuel tank and my big ***) Just rubs on the plastic liner, no metal, witch is good.

I would go bigger, like a 2" BL, but i only have like 2" left till Im hitting the top of the door in the garge I do my work in LOL. And i really enjoy working in the garge, especially on cold rainy days.

Past insepection today, so I would assume NY doesn't have any limitations on tire overhang. Since mine are like 1.5" out of the fender.

Ive decided to keep these tires, and not to send them back. And if the rubbing really bothers me I could do the 2" BL. Im having a hard time finding a BL 2" for a 01 Sport reg cab short box auto. Got any ideas God?

 

Agreed....

The work looks good man, really good. Definitely time for flares....but all in all, looks very good!

 

the fake bead locks i think are what sets the rims off.

I had to ARGUE with the tire shop to put sticky weights on instead of the clamp ones... friggen idiots


I agree, the SLIGHT slant does look good. but with that extra inch that im missing from the saggin springs, I think I might clear better.

 

That looks darn good. Make me wish I had a 4x4 again.

 

I think it looks GREAT!! I want a lift real bad for my 4x4.

 

Clean lift bro! Tire are sweet too!

 

looks good shott's i like it. i dont know why but lot of times a really like the big tires no lift thing. looks good and if it performs ok i would just leave it. now go change your avistar on ps so it looks like you actually belong to a wheeling site.
