How High do you need to go on sierras for tyre sizes?
How High do you need to go on sierras for tyre sizes?
Hi all new to the world of sierras just wondering what heights do you need to go for maxium clearance with larger tyre sizes?
I realise that you're hoping to hear something like "to fit a 33 you need to x amount of lift"
Unfortunately everyone will have a different answer, and a lot of factors come into play.
My last car had 31s with 2in OME springs, no body lift and a virtual lift.

depends on what size tyre and what you mean maximum clearance. Best bet is to have a look through here and check out some of the threads in the bible,
Some will go with 2" of lify plus a small body lift and guard cutting and fit 34" tyres, some will go with a SPOA and 31" tyres, some will go with RUF, guard cutting, bumpstop extensions and 2" of lift and run 33" tyres. Many ways to skin a cat

A few questions need to be asked to be able to give you a sensible answer.
What sort of driving do you want to do? I'm assuming rutted muddyish tracks based on your location.
How much do you want to spend?
Do you want to/are you capable of doing the work yourself?
Do you want something that ends up so modified you're scared to drive it in fear of being slapped with a canary or do you want something stockish?
You'll have a lot of fun in a Sierra with 2" speings and a set of 31's with a locker in the rear. Will you have more fun in a car with 36's, gears and win lockers? In Vic i seriously doubt it.
