I just threw on a set of 315/70r17 MTZ's today. They seem okay with stock wheels, rubs frame @ full lock. Cranked torsion bars and a load helper spring in rear.

What is the actual amount if lift in the front if you were to crank up the bars until you get to the mechanical limits of the axles and ball joints? 1,2, or 3 inches?

 

I believe the number is 24.5 from center hub to bottom of fender lip. I think that adds up to somewhere around 2.5" of lift safely.

 

cough cough, more pictures Cough.

 

Anybody ran 36s with just a t bar crank? I ran 36x14.50s on my z71, but I had ford torsion keys installed. I ran 35s on my f150 and only had to trim a little bit off the valance but I'm thinking about buying some iroks and didn't know if anybody else has done it?

 

There in a different thread.

 

My bad...

 

I was just razzing you man. lol

 

I didn't know lol. When I seen what you said, I thought oh sh*t its probably 2 threads down or something.... but I searched and came up empty handed, probably because no one else would want 36s without a 3-4 inch lift

 

I think this specific thread was started because 35's (& 33's) are the most common size people go with because of the lack of additional cost for a Lift.
