38" Tyres

Post by Jay »

I know someone is running 38" tyres on his rangie.
I really would like to know what are the axles and diffs used.
What suspension lift as well in addition to the BLK of ocurse?

i had 37" creepys on mine with 4.5" spring lift an afair bit of chopping.
lots of scrub too. On rover diffs equiped with maxi drive axles front and rear.

I beleive a 3" spring lift with a 2" body lift would be a better combo for the 38" rubber unless you wanna chop shitloads.

I seen sum other rangies with 2-4" spring lifts and 6" body lifts :shock: to fit 38s :? abit too much me thinks.

If your keen to cut, ill get back to you after i chop to fit the 39" iroks, but i will be in a diff situation as i wont have the standard width rover diffs. I am gonna try to get away with 3" spring lift and 1" body lift aswell.

What diffs are you running?
My disco has already a 2" Body lift and 3" suspension lift and is on 36x12.5....Not much room left for a 38 or 39 without a further suspesion lift or body lift but then i will need double cardab driveshafts

Will the driveshafts angle become an issue at 38" ?
