So got finished with the radflo stage 1.5 lift on thursday. Measurements were taken from ground to fender (marked fender and passing through center of rim and parked on the exact same spot in drive for measurement accuracy) on stock tires 265-65-17.
Before
34 1/4" front
33" rear
After
36 1/8"front (radflo set with additional 1/2" remaining on adjustment)
38" rear
Holy crap does it ride soooo much better then on the damn bump stops...
So have tried to search for last few weeks and it seems that tire size has been discussed many times but seems there isn't really this size will fit if you do this. On the 80's it was a if you are lifted this much you can fit this.
I want the LARGEST tire I can possibly fit looking at bfg ko2's. I will cut and pound plastic, will remove running boards. I don't mind a little rubbing while full turn and articulated.
Questions,
Can I keep the factory rims?
Will they need a spacer if I do?
Do I need to replace the uca first?
If a spacer is required then what is an acurate backspace to have for everything to be happy (meaning if i pulled the trigger on new rims)?
Leaving for 4-6 weeks in the next couple days have today and tomorrow to pull the trigger on new tires/rims etc. Yes, yes, I know without pics it hasn't happened. Haha. Will get them up before I leave. Thanks in advance for all your time and help.
