WOW thats a lot of abbreviations..

im going to be getting the 883 PA kit (as some of you may already know) with a tt and shackles, if needed. What i wanted to find out (after searching and not finding a definate answer) is if i can fit 32x11.5x15 BFG MT tires on a 15x8 wheel with this lift. any answers/input would be greatly appreciated. thank you

You could fit 33x12.5's if you wanted to with that setup. Search, it's been answered a million times.

you wont fit 33s w/o rubbing i have that set up and plan on going to a 32 or 31" tire and I hate the way it rides with the torsion bars cranked up

Every truck is different. Just because you rub, doesn't mean he will.

excellent. I think ive decided on the 32" MTs then. winters here are horrible; it rains for days at a time. Rain + Dirt = Mud. Plus, i like that hum they make on asphalt. Thanks for the help guys

Rubbing is sometimes a hard issue. Cause I'm sure for xxScape -- he'll just be driving around town and stuff and all he cares about it turning radius rubbing. Offroaders care (not too much but a little) about rubbing when tucking the wheels in the fenders and such. I sometimes (somehow) rub with my 33's (but they are about an 3/4 inch bigger than BFG Mts) at certain turning points. Basically, yes, every truck is different, but a good rule of thumb is to go with what you KNOW will fit. Now, if you don't mind cutting some fender well or just possibly some plastic - then go ahead, but other wise, 32's will probably be your best bet with a 4-5" lift. Superlifts/Trailmasters 4" lift specifies a 32" tire because that is what they know will fit (big 32s or small 32s). Good luck.

i dont get it. maybe its because i rode the short bus in highschool, but why did you get the FB120 ranger kit? Is it more expensive than the FB124 explorer kit? Would the 124 fit on my 01? so many lifts.. so little knowledge, please share the wealth!!

I got the FB120 kit because I had a buddy at his shop trying to get rid of one. The FB124 kit will work just as well (it's the same kit, just different spring stuff for the rear).

BFG is also not known to have low specs for their sizes. I think the only thing that beats them is interco. The 32 BFG should look perfect under there with that setup. post pics when done as I'm sure there are others (like me) who want to know how it looks.

i see... are you 4wd? if yes, will the 120/124 kits fit on a 2wd or is there some technicallity that will restrict it to 4wd?

120 and 124 kit will work. Now, about fitting on a 2wd.... i don't know - but I wouldn't see a problem with it. You just wouldn't use some brackets.
