He's recovering from a back op at the mo so will probabley be a couple of weeks wait.

It dependes really on what you mean by full lift kit...Do you just want the body lift or body and suspension and how much of a suspension lift do you want

[jeff.fn02jwa]

i want it to be big enough so i can run 16 rims and 31s rubber and say a 2 or 3 inch body lift if they do a 3 inch body lift as for the shocks what the best as my winch is 43 kgs

[marky]

You need bigger tyres than that. Go on you know you want to!

[Woodzie]

To run 33's you need a 4 inch lift........i am running 31's with +2 rear springs and +2inch coil spacers and a small increase on the torsion bars plus a 2 inch body lift .....but 31x 10.5 15 is very close to 265 70 15's so no lift is needed on a wide bodied surf i would think that 16's would be the same

If you are getting a bumper with the winch , you may need to uprate the torsion bars to take the extra weight

You can fit that size wheel with no suspension or body lift!

You're better off just getting a 2" bodylift kit and some Procomp ES9000 shocks.

i want to run on 33 but i all so want to run on my 15inch rims when i am not off-roading what do yours think

[jeff.fn02jwa]

why i here you say run on 15s with all that lift to get better mpg or is a 15 inch with a lot lift a no go will it make some thing go bang

Ah, I see.

In that case you'll need 4" total lift to fit 33" tyres.

2" suspension + 2" body.

You'll need...............

A set of 2" lift springs from Roughtrax.

A pair of 2" spring spacers.

A 2" bodylift kit.

1-1/2 balljoint spacers.

Front diff drop spacers.

Adjust the front torsion bars 1-1/2".

+4" shocks X4.

The size of the rim is not relevant, it's the overall size of the tyre eg 31", 33" etc that will make the difference. If you put a 33" tyre on a 15" rim you will get exactly the same result as putting a 33" tyre on a 16" rim. But to get a 33" tyre under your arches at standard height without rubbing then you will need a lift.

Surely if you put 33" rubber on a 15" rim it's going to be smaller in diameter than putting 33" rubber on a 16" rim??? As the 16" rim is an inch more diameter??? The profile stays the same as the tyre is the same size, bit will increase the diameter as the 16" rim is bigger than a 15" rim??

Depends on the profile measurement of the tyre.

I think they just make the hole in the middle an inch bigger! Tyre size is the same.

Exacty. A 33" tyre is a 33" tyre regardless of the hole size in the middle.
