how much lift roughly do i need for 40 inch tires? right now my bogger has 35s on it and they dont come close to rubbing i know it has like a 4-6" inch lift it has blocks in rear but over winter i want to be able to use 40s i know a shackle flip can add bout 6" and then i could use a block to make up for rest and then springs up front but how much do i need?
heres some pix of the truck http://wegotmud.com/forum/index.php?topic=64611.100 (http://wegotmud.com/forum/index.php?topic=64611.100)
well if you have 35s with good room and say a 5" lift id say a 3 in body lift should make room, 40s only need 2.5 in more body clearence because theyre only 5" taller 2.5 in on to and 2.5 on bottom
im not messin with body mounts itd be a byTch and screw up lot of stuff
i didnt say to...the way i explained it was confusing lol
oo lol its just its an explorer on a 80s chevy frame and theres alot ofwork involved in a bigger body lift
im sayin suspension lift it...2.5 inches of lift is all you need to clear 5 more inches of tire
how can i tell how big my suspension lift is? that would be on truck
i dont think 2.5 will get 40s under it with out rubin
he already has a 6" lift
o 6 was a guess? lol
well the ranger has 7 and 36s rub lol
yea it has like a 2inch aluminum block idk if theres add a leafs or wat
I bet they would fit like it is!!! trim some off the fenders if ya have to I run 44s with about 6" of lift!
i want to put the fender flares back on it
try getting cut out flares?the more lift spring you put in the rougher it will ride!
i dont think they may cutout flares these sport explorers came with factory flares
i got 40's on my truck with 8 inches of suspension and a lil fender trimming, no issues so far!
i thin i might be able to fit 40s right now i was looing at it and there is alot of room
ive cleared 40s on more than one truck with no lift and a sawzall ++peace
trucks to nice to cut up
put the tires on it, and then start turning the steering wheel, if nothing rubs, compress the suspension and try again.
whenever you do rub, measure how much travel you have in the area you are rubbing, and you will know how far to lift. if you have less than 1-2 inches of clearance during this check, consider it a rub spot. parts will move more when they are under load.
I used this method when I cut my fenders, and I never rubbed where I cut until my body mount fell apart. I run 35' tires with no lift.
