I think we are talking about different things here, what works, what doesn't, suspension free travel,etc.
I think anytime you start getting up that high the limiting factor is the control arms in the rear for one and the way the front suspension reacts to that much heighth, you maybe able to raise it that high and look the look but will you have enough free travel for it to work good off road? You maybe able to stuff the tires up in the fenderwells but the range of motion that the rearend is going through is not good at all. Going that high a long arm set up is needed first I would think
There is a whole lot more to setting up a suspension to work correctly than just throwing stuff together
Yeah, I figured since there is no long arm kit my old set up will serve a good purpose for me I don't plan to do any hardcore offroading just mild trail rides to a daily driver then this would be an ideal thing for me to get the look I want It will do anything and everything everyone else does with a 2.5 inch kit.
well, since i plan to regear to 4.10's what exactly is that doing? making my rotations in the axle greater? I want to run almost a 33" tire but I would like to keep the current gas milege would changing to a 4.10 gear help?
tom and tjkj,
I don't plan to off road often. but i owuld like to keep the current mpg if i were to run a 4-6inch lift with close to a 33inch tire what gears should I get for the best MPG
The problem is there is only one choice. 4.10s thats all there is for the front, rears you can go deeper but not the front. with 33s you are still going to loose some MPGs with that size tire, but the gear swap will help.
Just didn't want to see you get into the same thing you had before , you already know what that little snap sounds like
before the rear axle rotates.
Need to talk some more
