Hi all,
I have researched but could not specifically find an answer so I figured I would ask here...As stated if this is the wrong place to post please move or delete...wasnt sure if lift and tire central was mostly for pic posting...
In any event, I am in a 2001 right now with a daystar 3/2 lift and I really like it...I am looking at upgrading and buying a used 2006 v8 limited 170k miles...I want to lift it in this specific way but need help answering a few questions with regard to lift...I do not off road at all, I just like the lifts for aesthetics.
what I want to do is:
1. change out the shocks to bilstien 4600 hd yellow sport shocks
2. the daystar 3/2,
3. put 1.25" spider trax spacers on all 4 to bring the wheels and tires out a bit for a better stance,
4. then I am not sure about tire size, I want to go as large as I can, I either want to go with:
a. P 265 /65 R18 112T SL RWL
or
b. P 265 /70 R18 114T SL RWL
in this tire: bf goodrich rugged terrain (p rated)
the "70s" come out to be 1 inch taller according to the tire size calculator, I think I am ok width wise as to the upper control arms, but not sure if I would have rubbing issues in any other locations (body mount, over fenders [due to spacers] or running boards) if I go to the 265/70/18s
I dont' want to have any rub issues or body mount chops? i want/need to keep the running boards as the wife and kids need them to get in the truck...thanks for you input.
also the truck is in great shape, no nav, needs front brakes and a "flush" not sure of what but that is what the seller said is recommended...is $9k a decent deal for this car? seems a little high to me for the mileage...thanks again.
