What lift should I do?

[UTFJFAN]

I now own a 2.5 inch old man emu lift for my 40. I have a set of 35x12.5x15 tires I want to put on it.

Here are my q's.

Should I use the 2.5 SOA to fit them or 4" HFS SUA lift I can pick up for under a grand?

Let me know your opinion.

2.5" of lift will be too tight for 35x12.5's.

2.5" springs on a SOA will probably give 6 inches of lift vs the 4" SUA. What are your intentions for the rig, trail, road, both, dd?

A 4" is not big enough for 35's.


Go SOA.

Look at the rear of the rear quarter panel on this one. That muddy spot hit the tire and folds in.

4" SOR lift
2" Man A Fre body lift
35"s

The damage was before the rear bumper was added.



If you are going to cut your fenders out, 35"s will fit.

Trade the 2.5 for someone with stock flat springs and do a SOA with them, trim guards as necessary.

If you go that route. I'll trade you my flat stock springs.

Here might be a good place to start.

If you can wait a few weeks I have a set of stock springs you can have. PM me if you interested and all you will have to pay for is shipping.

X2 or 3 or 4.....

If you run any trails at all you'll be happy you did it.
