Add another 4 -5 inches, and you are now officially in big ghey truck land. Hellbilly Delux 04-05-2009, 01:55 AM you can run 40s on 8 and 3 no trimming . . you might rub just a little when u hit big bumps. 12 and 3 clears 44s no trimming. All that being said a little trimming goes a long way . . u could do some creative trimming with what youve already got and clear 42s without it being super obvious and itd save you alot of hassle. florida4x4 04-05-2009, 04:28 AM Good grief man you're gonna get nose bleed! I run 42 with 6" springs.. move the front axle forward 4 inches and do some fender trimming. Gutter Runner 04-05-2009, 06:30 AM I would add a 17" body lift.

LOL!! 8" springs and a 3" body.......he's already there. That combo is useless for anything beyond a mud pit. LegendKiller89 04-05-2009, 10:43 AM Why don't you want to trim?? :skull: trkklr77 04-05-2009, 03:39 PM put the cut out flares on now and you wont need to lift at all. 78stepsideUAK10 04-05-2009, 04:19 PM 38's with 11" lift must look sweet http://www.ratemyeverything.net/image/5311/2/rate_my_mullet.ashx brooks294x4 04-06-2009, 10:18 AM 38's with 11" lift must look sweet http://www.ratemyeverything.net/image/5311/2/rate_my_mullet.ashx anything would look sweet with a mullet like that standing beside it! reddwarf 04-06-2009, 01:00 PM those are out already!!!??? LMAO :laughing::laughing: No you just stack two 8.5" kits silly:shaking: How much lift/trim you need will depend on the width and backspacing of the wheels Best thing is put em on and then trim or add the big flares 71chevy4x4 04-06-2009, 03:58 PM Stack another frame for an easy 4" more lift:flipoff2: Just trim the lower corners of the fender, maybe even move the front end a little forward. No reason to lift it any higher. Blind Driver 04-06-2009, 05:13 PM I would add a 17" body lift. :shaking: Your current body lift is fine, you just need to extend the body mounting brackets up about 5":) | |
