32" rubber, what does it take?

[TonyN]

If I was writing a full reply, I would copy TonyN's text and paste it here. He is textbook, but I haven't experienced any rubbing he talks about...

....Needed wheel spacers to fit the 32's without rubbing.....

huh?

I agree, thanks Tony. Sledge is running that exact tire size on his KZN185 and said he's only got a 2" body lift?

I think you'll find 3rd Gens can run bigger tyres that 2nd Gens due to larger wheel arch openings, I also think the stock tyre size is one up from 2nd gens fromt the start, but not sure.

huh?

Oops. I meant in terms of front arch or inner wing etc. Because of the small offset of the wheels I have, they "just" touched the chassis rail area on full lock.
And the tyres do look a lot better set to the outside of the arches....!

Again, thanks for the reply's guys, I'll start out with the roughtrax 2" lift and go from there, anything else I have to consider when doing a 2" body lift?

I know I'll have to:

-Extend the shift levers (transfer case and manual trans lever)
-Relocate front bumper
-Remove lower fan shroud

Will I need extended brake lines with a 2" suspension and 2" body lift?

Not really, although a 1" block under the rear brake line splitter on the back axle is a good idea if you're going to offroad it.

Its not a bad idea to get braided hoses front and back, they are normally longer than stock to allow for lifts.

Try cutting the shifter opening a little if you don't fancy extending the levers.

my mate next door has a 2.5" lift and 33's with no probs
