Anyone know how high you can lift the 4x2 with Al's A-arms. I'm thinking 5 easy inches in front and rear with 33's.
Not for me. anybody done it?
I am in the process of figuring that out right now. I have a '02 4x2 on which I installed Al's upper arms on today. I have the old daystar spacer lift which is a 3-1/4" block under the front springs. I guess you could say that it is a 4" lift since this is a prelowered '02. At full droop, the upper ball joint is tight against the lowermost coil of the springs. I think if you wanted to go much higher than what I have, you would need a long arm prerunner kit similar to what Total Chaos Fabrication makes for toyotas.
And 33's? No way. I am running a 265/75/16 on the stock rims and had minimal rubbing with the stock upper arms. With the Al's arms, my tire is rubbing on the upper ball joint, and rubs the rear of the upper arms while turning. To fit a 33, you will need about a 9 or 10 inch rim with 4 to 4.5" backspacing.
I will try to get some pictures of the rubbing mess that I have created, but not till tomorow. Im off to find some spidertrax spacers so my front wheels can turn.
