Simple lift question

[Butters01]

Looked thru all the post and nothing.
im looking to get a 1st gen ST 4x4 as soon as i sell my HHR.

Will a 3" BL and 2" TT with 2" SL get me 5" of lift?

im trying to get everything priced so when i do sell my HHR i can pick up a ST and start the lift.

What size tire are you trying to fit?

I personally will never do a Torsion Twist again. The torsion bars will fatigue over time and you will lose any lift you got from doing a TT.

With right wheels and some trimming you can fit 35" tires with just the 3" body lift.


Look at this picture below. My truck is on the left with the torsion bolts adjusted all the way in and my front end is lower than my friends Sport Trac on the right with no Torsion Twist. We both just have 3" body lifts. My torsion bars have fatigued over the years. And those are 35" Goodyear Wrangler MTR's on my friends Sport Trac on the right.

i been looking at some 15x10s with 33x12.50s, but after going thru ALOT of posts it looks like not alot run a 15x10, mostly 15x8.
i think if i remember correctly you are running 15x10s on yours but with alot of trimming.
i hate the look of a narrow tire under a lifted truck.
bout a couple inches wider then the fenders and i would be happy.

id love to fit 35's but with a big tire comes big gearing right?
the truck will be mainly daily driver and every now and then if i pass a cornfield calling my name.

Yes me and that other truck are running 15x10 wheels. I think you get better backspacing for the larger tires with the 15x10 vs the 15x8 wheels.

What gears do you have? 3.73 or 4.10s?

33" tires would be good. Me and that other truck are running with our stock 4.10 gears.
