Advice on lifting my 96?

[XLT_96]

i want to put a 3" BL for now cause i dont have the money for a suspension lift at the moment, and i need to know for sure if 33" 12's would fit or if they might rub?? any help or suggestions on other modifications

3" body lift and tt and shackle, you still might rub up front while turning.

what about my gears? and what if they were 33 10s would i have a better chance?

That tire size has a better chance of not rubbing. Also, it's a might rub thing. It might not either. I'd wait until some other guys running that combo post up. Gearing I would change to at least 4.10 if not 4.56. Are you 4.0L or 5.0L?

4.0 L

You'll want to regear then. 2 or 4wd?

4

Check this out. I just saw it in another thread.

i have a 3" body lift, and did the warrior 2" shackles with the torsion twist. i had to trim a small bit for the front tires to stop rubbing, but nothing noticable.

Dude has 33x12.5

do you have any clue of how much that might cost?

gears will set you back about 700-800 bucks for the pair.

I have 33x12.5x15 with a 3" BL, shackles and a TT, they rubbed a little and had to trim some inner plastic fender, however yours might not rub at all, like froader said each vehicle is a little different. Also i have 3.73 gears, not as good as 4.10, but they seem to do the trick. As for the cost of tires, it depends on what you want.
