Price check on Superlift k494

AMMO_HOOAH · 04-03-2007, 12:30 PM

Think I'm finally going to go ahead with the Superlift kit for my X, but I need to know what you guys have found for prices on this kit. The best I've found is from 4wheelonline.com for $1,773 free shipping. If any of you guys know a better spot please let me know. BTW just out of curiosity how well do you guys think 35x12.50 will fit with this kit, TT+shackles, and 3" body.

AMMO_HOOAH · 04-03-2007, 10:59 PM

Anybody?

**FROADER** · 04-03-2007, 11:05 PM

35s will defintely fit with a 9" lift. There are a couple of guys on here with 35s with your current set-up. I don't know of any better prices on the kit.

AMMO_HOOAH · 04-04-2007, 01:06 AM

thx for the info, although now I'm considering 37s if you say 35s would fit now lol.

**FROADER** · 04-04-2007, 01:13 AM

37s should fit with that much lift.

It was 2wd, but XplorerKid had a 97 with a 9" lift rollin' 37s.

Nice, I'm thinking about the Irok radial 36X13.50 R15, but can i fit a 13.50 on our stock 8" rims?

**FROADER** · 04-04-2007, 01:30 AM

Stock wheel is 7" and the 13.5" tires would be too wide for them.

AMMO_HOOAH · 04-04-2007, 01:34 AM

lol, I'm not sure where I got 8 but ya. What about some 12.50 on the stockers. If you can't tell I really don't feel like getting new wheels lol.

mersberg · 04-04-2007, 01:41 AM

$1710 from 4wheel parts. Fender trimming and TT for 33x12.5 and 15x10 rims they still rub, go with 15x8 and some minor trimming you should be fine not sure about 37's but maybe 35's

**FROADER** · 04-04-2007, 01:43 AM

12.5" tires are pushing it, but they'll work on the stock wheels. You'll have to mess with the air pressure to make sure they don't wear in the middle too much.

AMMO_HOOAH · 04-04-2007, 01:46 AM

Sounds good, I'd consider 10.50s, but isn't that pointless in a 35?

**FROADER** · 04-04-2007, 01:51 AM

I'm not even sure anyone make that size tire. If you're spending all this money on the lift, tires, gears (F&R) you might as well spend another $250 or so on cheap new 15x8" wheels with 3.75" back spacing.

AMMO_HOOAH · 04-04-2007, 01:57 AM

I know the super swamper ssr comes in a 35x10.50x15 but meh. For now it'll just be lift and tires, gears and lockers will be a bit down the road.

**FROADER** · 04-04-2007, 02:00 AM

You're going to run 35s, maybe 37s with stock gears?

AMMO_HOOAH · 04-04-2007, 02:16 AM

LOL, only till I have the money for gears, lockers, and pay to have both set up.

*Dan Whitaker* · 04-04-2007, 12:12 PM

I'm glad I'm not your transmission.

AMMO_HOOAH · 04-11-2007, 02:46 AM

Ok, so gonna order the kit from truckaddons.com Friday

. Just figured I'd check to see if anyone has gotten anything from them and if you had any complaints. Thanks for the input.
