Okay, I'm 16, i just got my truck (2006 Night Runner Quad 4x4), and I need some opinions on lift and tires. i only want a body lift and no bigger than 35" tires on my stock 20" rims. What size and type of tires and how much lift should i get. I'm on a budget btw
Man when I was 16 I got a 1987 mustang that cost $500, you're pretty lucky man. Look into some Nitto's you can usually find a good deal on some Terra Grapplers.......Good Luck.
Won't have enough offset on stock rims to run 35x12.50x20s, an 35s with only 3" of lift won't leave much room for articulation. Best route to go would be either a 3" body lift or 4" suspension lift, and 33s on your 20s. Look into Nitto Terra Grapplers or Cooper Zeons, great tires for the money.
Lucky you OP. When I was 16 I got to borrow my grandma's baby blue Ford Fairmont 4 door.....talk about a chick magnet - NOT!! LOL. In regard to tires, my vote would be for Nitto Terra Grapplers. You can them for a great price and get a lot of miles with regular rotating around 6k miles.
if you have just a 2.5 level can you throw 35's on it?
Theoretically yes...but you wont have much articulation and will need to trim. Im planning on getting 35s with a 2.5 but am probably gonna put 3in spindles first
