All you 4th gen guys with lifts suck!....lol

[momo.75]

I don't even need to be spending the money on a lift, but after seeing all the ones you guys have done it is killing me. The ideal situation would be that my tires needed to be replaced soon and I would go ahead and do the DS 2.5/1.5, but i just bought a new set of tires 265/60r 18's just a few months ago. This is where I am torn. I am worried that if i do this lift now, it will look bad until I get a larger set of tires. That brings me to just leveling it for now, with the front spacers, then lifting later when my tires wear out.....which we be a long time. I have Spidertrax on right now, which might help it a little if I do lift it now, but not completely sure.

What do you guys think? Thanks in advance!

:hatsoff:

I have the 2.5/1.5 lift and stock 265/65/17 mich tires right now and it doesnt look bad at all. The trails i usually ride require the added ground clearance of the lift more than the grip of the tires.

I think I may have already sent you this, but this is mine with stock tires, spidertrax, & FJ springs (~2" front, ,5" rear). I thought it looked pretty well before I switched tires but it def looked better afterward.

btw I think you could gain 15 hp by ditching the front license plate

I forgot to mention that i do have Xreas and will be keeping it.

yeah, i gotta take my lumps....lol. The game turned out exactly like i thought it would We are just young this year....not to mention our QB's suck. After last season, it makes it a little easier to take. Just excited about the SEC doing well again this year.

...not to mention our QB's suck...

fftopic: but I think you mean QB, word on the streets is that Trotter quit because he didn't get the start against us.

I hear ya on not needing to spend more money the truck. The only reason I haven't in a while is because I am now spending it on mountain biking. Oh well, we only live once! :thumb3:

I know some people choose to wait until they upgrade tires, but IMO the lift will look good regardless of larger tires. Does it look better with big tires...of course. But if you have the lift and are ready to install it, put it on! I could understand if you hadn't already purchased the lift kit, but since you do, install and enjoy. As you mentioned, the spidertrax will give your current tires a much more aggressive, wider look.

For reference, Here is a picture of mine with 265/70s and 4"+ of lift (currently sitting at ~38"). I realize its one size up from your current set but my lift is also a lot more than 2.5" so the ratio/look will be similar. Ignore the bro lean...

I plan on going with 285/70s once these go out and will probably add the spidertrax before then, but I am in no hurry and don't feel it looks bad...although I could be slightly biased. :nerd:

 

[momo.75]

That does look good! You guys got me leaning towards pulling the trigger on the full deal....lol.

I hadn't heard that about Trotter, but can't really say i would miss him.....he can take Clint with him......lol

 

[rockwall]

I have the Cornfed 3/2 lift kit and I too have tires not ready to be replaced. For now I think it still looks real good.

 

[momo.75]

Yep, that doesn't look bad. Thanks for all the pics on this thread as well.....really helps.

 

[jaybird93000]

Yes

hahaha I don't think you understand how excited i am to see you so into lifts:reddance: You so should, cuz then i could come help and your runner would look even better, and maybe even better than mine:lol: but seriously, do it!!

 

[zstampe]

This is all I have to say momo........

I'll just leave this here......

Yep, this is partially your fault....

 

[jaybird93000]

huzzahh! haha you know you should. Look at that OME setup, purely amazing... That's my favorite, but that sits even higher than 3/2 would put me and theres no way dad would go for that. But you know if you do this, you'd have to have an assistant, and i value your runner as much as i do mine! I'm thinkin it's an afternoon after-work project waiting to happen...

 

[momo.75]

This is all I have to say momo........

I'll just leave this here......

...and you haven't helped either.....lol. That looks so good!....:bluejump:

 

[momo.75]

[momo.75]

I need to look back. I think i got some Cyber Monday discount emails from Amazon. Surely i will get something tomorrow. If my wife gives me sh!t about it i am giving her all of your email addresses.....lol

 

[jaybird93000]

hahaha bring it on, we can convince her it's the best thing to do!
so is the deal sealed??? Ya 95% sure you'll pull the trigger tomorrow??

 

[momo.75]

lol.....you say that......She is half my size, but i still wouldn't mess with her.....lol.

Pretty sure. I just found a kit on ebay for $143 and free shipping. We will see.

 

[jaybird93000]

haha! Know some girls like that, and that is so true... But look at it this way, if you don't tell her, she might not even notice!! I picked my girlfriend up the day after i got my wheels done, and she did not say a word about them until i pointed them out. Needless to say my confidence dropped a bit...:roadkill:
