    Wheel Spacer + Lift

    I'm trying to stuff 33" tires under my '91 and I was wondering if anyone knew how much lift would be needed if I used some wheel spacers? I don't want to go more than 1", 1.5" at the most for the spacers. Any input is appreciated.

I don't need high top speed, 90 is plenty, and I'm fine with turning up to 2K at 60 MPH, as I don't really see this being a...

    How to tell if 4WD engages

    how can I tell if my 4WD is engaging? I have the stock auto hubs, 170K miles, and the last owners were rough on it. Every time i'm stuck, the driver front wheel does nothing. I read something about a guy turning the axleshaft, or something, so I was hoping that someone could tell me what to...

    Lug Nut Troubles.....

    I was trying to install a shackle lift on my X today. Couldn't get the old one off b/c of too much rust, but that's not the point. I had the wheel off to this obviously. I put the wheel back on, put my 4 lug nuts on (came with one locking that i had the shop throw away b/c the last owners...

    Language

    quick question, i've been browsing through here and i haven't seen any foul language. is that a rule of this forum, or is it just common courtesy? i'm not asking for permission to pull a touretts in my posts, but sometimes it helps get a point across. If it is frowned upon here though, then i...
