33x12.50s on a 2" lift?

[BillyBob82]

Here's 52" tires with no lift, again just because it's possible doesn't mean it's a good idea.

How old is that picture? Is this the same truck?

Edit: I mean, that's definitely the same truck right? did you take that picture in Kansas or just snag it off Google or another thread? i took this picture like two weeks ago near my friend's house out by Worcester. Weird

Please get more pics, or a video cause i think seeing it drive would blow my mind.

I don't think the thing drives, it's always parked in the same spot day or night. I have more crappy cell phone pics of it at home that I'll upload.

33 x 12.5 no lift... slight rub
It's all in the wheels kids...

Is the swaybar disconnected in the rear there?

looks like the same picture from different angles, and if that's the case then his other tire is stuffed into the wheel well so it can't flex anymore.

I just have the feeling that I could stick both rear tires to the ground on that same angle and I don't know if it's a function of the Warrior shackles or the BL or both?

 

[techieman33]

Yeah you probably could, the shackles might help a little, but the body lift helps a lot, it lets the tire that's being stuffed to go up higher, and the tire going down to drop lower since there is more tire clearance.

 

[Shen2187]

Yeah the rear sway bar is on in the pic, I took it off after lol. It's actually hitting the bump stop but, the tire is very close, less than 1/8 of an inch. I'm hoping it will keep both tires on the ground on that same spot, I will see tomorrow... might just take it to the RTI ramp.

EDIT:Here we are... It stuffs a bit more but got a lot more droop. Amazing what sway bars do... Unfortunately the front doesn't like to flex or I would get up higher... The lift and softer springs should help...

lol... you can see all the scratches from last weekend...

Wow. Shen2187, thanks for the great pics. What is the backspacing on the wheels you're running? Nice to see someone using a setup that I plan on running some time soon. I dont think Ill have to much of an issue then, I have a 2" lift already. Have you done a gear swap? How does it drive?

 

[Shen2187]

I'm not sure exactly, I could measure it later today. I know they came off of an '89 Ford Ranger. As for driving, my ex happens to be equipped with 3.55 gears so there is a VERY noticeable loss of power and torque. Some 4.10 gears should help a lot and still give you good economy, I plan to go with 4.56 since it's about 50/50, Daily Driver/Weekend Toy. There is a slight rub when turning sharp, especially in reverse. I think, that if I had some fresh shocks and bushings in the front, rubbing would not even be an issue. It's just catching the front and rear edges of the tubs. Also though, these tires are about 50% worn so fresh ones would probably rub quite a bit more.
