Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

Zak live n Philly & have Jersey plates ? Buddy of mine is Head supt. at TPC club in area he lives in Washington Crossing , close to you ?

yeah i'm a transplant from northern jerz. my parents still live there, never switched my residency. hopefully moving to DC after i graduate.

TPC?

Washington Crossing is about 45 mins - an hour from me. Really nice area
 
Keep your eyes peeled for mine in hoboken this weekend :thumb3:


Will do man! I actually have your LED bar roofrack install & your headlight build bookmarked in a folder for mods I plan on doing this spring when I finish paying off one of my student loans. I'm nothing but stock as of now, but oh man, when i'm done with this loan i already have a list of shit waiting to be bought and installed!
 
Here is my 2005 sitting on 285/75/17 Dick Cepek FC2's. It has a Cornfed 3/2 spacer lift. I nearly purchased an Icon setup tonight, but I decided to take my time and go about it right with a diff drop and maybe some bump stops. But man oh man do I ever want to give this ride a proper lift.

Rubbing question?

Here is my 2005 sitting on 285/75/17 Dick Cepek FC2's. It has a Cornfed 3/2 spacer lift. I nearly purchased an Icon setup tonight, but I decided to take my time and go about it right with a diff drop and maybe some bump stops. But man oh man do I ever want to give this ride a proper lift.

Hows the clearance and fender height of your current setup? Any rubbing still and how much trimming did you have to do to run the 285/75/17?

I trimmed out the front wheel well and removed the mud flaps, there is still a slight rub, (and by slight i mean really slight that its not worth me trimming more) when it is at full flex and turning left. happens inside the passenger wheel well and ya, its pretty minimal.

Is the 285-75-17 a new size? I thought they only made a 285-70-17?

That's a 34" tire, I would have expected you to have more rubbing with just a 3" lift.

To be honest, the tire came with the suv when I bought it, so not sure where exactly the original owner purchased the tire from, but there was some substantial trimming that I had to do to prevent any rubbing.

it is just kinda weird. The only tire that i was easily able to be found in that size was the BFG KM2, I couldn't find any others.

Can you post a pic of the trimming completed to fit that size?

Thats what had to be taken out, a bit much but it made a big difference.

How do you like the iron man setup? How does it ride. Thinking about going with them due to there reputation in oz.
 
My runner with the Toytec 1/2 inch spacer on top of OME 885 coils. The spacer gave me about an inch of lift

Got some new tires mounted this past week. Wanted to make sure to post for anyone looking for additional pics of a non-lifted 4th gen with 265/70R17 tires. These are General Grabber AT2's. We had an ice storm the day after I got them installed and it's still not been warm enough to thaw everything off...haven't had the tires long enough to really comment on them.
