Hey does anybody know if i could fit 32x11.50 tires with just Coil Spacers and Warrior Shackles??

i wanna keep my center of gravity low because i go freaking fast off-roading!

(I am willing to trim a little too)

You probably can with some trimming. For a short time, my plans involved the Duff 2.5" lift, a sawzall, and a set of 33's. Unfortunately, you will very likely rub on your radius arms at full lock.
 






hey BislamJoe:hammer: are you sure they rub on the radius arms (wont they rub on the sway bar too?), i wanna get a set of rims too, think they'll rub with a 3.55 offset rims??
 






32x11.50's on 15.x8 rims on our 1992 XLT fit.. with OME 2.5" lift springs.. WAR-153 shackels (1.5" lift).. and a the Duff 2.5" lift front springs..

The rear fits no problem.. the front will rub on the inner fenderwell for us as it is.. With only1.5" of lift using spacers you will definatly rub on the bottom corner of your fender and the inner fenderwell.. you would need the sawzall to make it fit..

If you add a body lift also (2") you would have a better fit.. Since you are only lifting the body you are keeping the CG lower than you would if you had a suspension lift the same height as the suspension+body lift. You are still lifting the CG.. but not as much as you could..

BTW.. Even if you could fit the tires.. it may not look very good. The tires would most likely look too big..

This is what 32x11.50 look like on our 92 with the suspension lift fo 2.5"+ with a custom front bumper and no inner fenderwell..

Oh yea.. the tire would most likely also hit your stock front bumper unless you trimmed it near the rear.. Ours would get close if I had the stock bumper on.
 






danke (thank you in german):bounce: :smoke:
 






Well, I figured that you'd ditch the swaybars, but yeah, they'd probably rub there too.
 






forget it, i think im just going to run 31x10.50's on the stock rims, and just get coil spacers and shackles for a little lift.:rolleyes: then most of my money is going on engine performance, then shocks, then Nitrous......blah blah blah......
