The Definitive "What do xx size tires look like with xx lift?" Thread (1 Viewer)

[KeepCruzin]

I've been waiting for a thread like this for ever!!!

I'm definitely going with 31x10.5x15 tires.

Now my only question is which OME to get. Light/Medium or Medium/Heavy.

I used my 60 as a DD & very light off road (camping and such).

I recommend the Heavy in front, and medium in the rear. Its your rear springs that give you most of your "ride quality". And with that setup, you can add a front bumper, winch, etc and not have to worry about front end sag. Iv seen some of the med-light set ups sag quite a bit under a full load or a small trailer.

Wish the tires were 33X10.5x17 to lower it just a tad.

I love your cruiser! That color makes me drool. And with the blacked out chrome. So hot!

Thanks, and me being an old dead head, the color matching Grateful Dead sticker in the center of the spare tire completes the scene!

You profile picture looks like it was taken north of Driggs, up toward Tetonia.

This thread has been quiet for awhile. Does anyone have some shots of an Ironman lift with the B load front and rear (range A thru D increasing as you go). I have no need for heavy load capacity. Thinking of this on my FJ62 (Freeborn Red) and then either 31 or 33 tires. Probably stay with stock wheels and will try to polish them up real well. Thanks.

That looks amazing!

 

[whothehellisdan]

35s, 3" in the rear and about 4.5" in the front.

 

[Cruiser Jimmy]

Here's my reference point.

Sprung under. OME Heavy lift front and rear. 35x12.5x17.
The rig sit two inches lower in the front. Reference measurement is the body line that is just above the door handles.
With new front shackles that I'll make that line will sit at 48" at the front and rear most ends.

Ditched this SR setup and went SOA...

Ruffstuff SOA "kit", Ironman springs (multiple leaves removed from each pack), 37/12.50r17 on FJ steelies. No rubbing anywhere. (rubbing in pics from previous setups)

Are you still liking the ironman springs? Performance, sag...?
