Calling all 17x9 -38

The max is about 3" suspension. IFS only allows so much because of the CV axles. Even at 3" the angles get weird and the boots just can't handle it. Make sure you do the "boot slide mod" after your lift.

Noted. I’ll have to look into that and get into the subject on the forms and search around, also how hard was it to stretch to mount the bumpers back on ?

You don't remove them, literally like three or four screws on the bottom that attach to the radiator support. Loosen them don't remove, install body lift, then tighten screws.

What’s entailed in the boot slide mod? I’m sorry I’ve been searching but I can’t find any material on it. Unless if you can redirect me to a thread.

Look at [MENTION=429038]y=mx+b[/MENTION] history for his CV axle reboot write up, it's one of the steps he included.

I took a look at his write up, being that my cv boots look to be in good shape, can I just loosen the small hose clamp end and stretch and retighten?

Yes that's what I meant by it being one of the steps he included. Probably need a new clamp I don't think you can reuse

Yes, but use worm drive hose clamps because the OEM clamps are pretty much 1 time use. You can really use whatever clamps, but I think HD or Lowe's worm drive hose clamps clamps are zinc. Stainless is ideal because no rust.
