......body lift.......


-"internet" master ASE and Level 1 BMW "mechanic" muhaha

 

rock on! I'd rather see someone cut out the fenders on the truck to run big tires then to lift it a ridiculous amount. This way is much safer... It keeps the center of gravity low. I cut the fenders on my truck to run 35's with a 3 inch body lift but on a gen II which cant even run 31s stock.

 

just for reference, i took a pic of my friends 35" mtr next to my stock truck over the weekend .... looks huge

 

I can't beleive this thread isnt locked yet lol.

lepp1892, your truck looks good. Nothing wrong with that because it doesnt look half assed.

 

u guys are really that friggen dense that u cant figure out why the OP is doing what he did. but, to most here the idea of wheelin is splashin through a 3" deep water puddle so u can get ur truck a little dirty.

 

i dont think anybody really gives a f*ck anymore, so why dont you just stop beating a dead horse too?

 

and just to add a little more fuel to this threads fire here is a 98 ranger with 36's on it... hahaha


oh and to the OP I don't think it looks that bad.. if you get a set of fender flares to go over where you cut it i bet it would look pretty nice...

 

looks good so thats just cut fenders?

 

x2

 

It looks cool...but...it just doesnt look like it can do anything but a straight, flat line without hanging up on itself.

You know, it's like guys with bagged and juiced trucks. Yeah they drive em slammed on the ground with the wheels tucked in the fenders, but when they go to turn, they air up and give themselves some clearance so they dont rub.

 

we just stuck them on there to see what they would look like... you could turn the front wheels about 15 degrees before the tires hit the mud flap.... but i thought it looked pretty neat... but surprisingly the back seemed to fit pretty well...

 

like I said. Looks cool, but you realized it doesn't work lol.

 

He just needs to trim and they would fit fine.

 

I say that you do with it what you want to do with it and don't listen to anyone else. I personally think it will look pretty cool without a BL and then cut fenders or just take the bed off completley and put a diamond plate flat bed on.

 

or go the 4wp route .."ehhhh they'll fit, may rub a little at full lock though"

 

I LIKE IT, but im a redneck from fl so what do i know lol

 

i say screw lifting it and take the bed and fenders off. who are we kidding? we're talking 40"s in the front!!!

 

i like the fenders and the bed

 

heres the ranger flexing, and not rubbing at all



and the cj

 

I think it looks good. Screw the haters.

 

those are 33's right?

 

looks like the tire has caught the front bumper

 

they are 33's, not my tires, i have to find some 35's
its not hitting the bumper, i was there. the pic kind of looks like it but there was room

 

looks good with the 33's on it.

When are you getting coil spacers and such

 

i have coil spacers, possibly have some stock xj coils that i'd rather use.
don't think i'm going to do anything in the back
