Outer Limits 4x4 Board

looking to do a 4" lift and was wondering if i'll be able to get 35s under without guard chopping or scraping on the guards....will i need a body lift? after the 4' lift?

or bible.

as said in a lot of previous posts a spring lift will not help you fit bigger tyres, think about it, you put a 4in lift in, go over a bump and compress the suspension 4in you are back to standard height. Compress it to the bumpstops it is like you had no lift at all, you will need to body lift and cut guards i would say. There is not a chance i could run my 35in simex without my 2in body lift and cut guards.

I am assuming gq

i would say NO, you will at least need a body lift and possibly a small guard trim too, depends on how stiff the springs are. mine still rubbed with 4 inch springs and a 2 inch body lift, but only a little bit at full compression. im now running 37s with the same lift, but i had to take a fair bit out of the guards to make it work.

i have a 3 inch lift with 35 10.5 15 simex just catch on the edge of the rubber fair thats it!!!!with no gaurd cut at all! but on the other hand a mate has 4 inch lift with 35 11.5 15 simex and he has no gaurds left all bent up!!

i got BF Goodrich 35" tyres under a 2" Sus and 2" body lifted Mav without guard chop or any scrubbing under flex.

Here is a pic of the car with the 35's under

For a GU yes. For a GQ just trim the guards.

I have my 35 mtr's on my 3" susp shorty and they rub. Guards need to be trimmed. I am only a poser at the moment and they dont rub.

GU as above but may benifit from a front radius arm spacer also (or drop box) just to be sure to be sure...

i run 35 Mickey T on my gq. has 5" dobinson coils witht he usual extra bits to make it work. no sway bars.

rear had to be trimmed a bit to fit, front was fine.

just use radius arm spacers or drop boxes and you wont need to body lift or cut any guards worked on both of our GQs. GUs fit 35s fine.

I agree this is your best option.cheaper and keeps the truck that bit lower

Ihad 4" lift and trashed front mudflaps with 33x12.5 muddies, so when i went 35's i put in a 2" body lift and 30mm spring spacers(not req but cheap lift). I still had to trim some of the front guard and remove mudflaps. I doubt very much if i'd have any guards at all left if i had've stayed with 4" lift under serious offroad conditions.

You'll fit em on road and doing poser flexes, but do some proper hard offroading and watch the damage created.

I've spaced my front diff forward 25mm and run 37s without hitting the back of the guard. The 12mm spacers or drop boxes are the cheapest and easiest way to stop the front from scrubbing. For the rear just do the quarter chop and trim the back of the guard while you are at it. Much better option than a body lift.

i got 4 inch lift 2 inch body and mine dont rub gaurds,, but also got 3rds rear adjustable arms to get it away from the rear end

another thing to consider is rim offset.
i have 3" and 35s on -22 offset rims and its fine.
theres a little rubbing gere and there but i need to extend my bumpstops still

My Truck on 35inch Claws with a 3 inch springs only.

difference between GU and GQ

i'm running 2 inch spring and 2 inch body lift on mine and my mates cars, both GQ's and never heard the tyre scrub, no chopped guards.

on what vehicle? A GQ, a MQ, a GU a Navara? Do you want to extend your bump stops down to stop compression. What width 35", and on what rim and back spacing?

If its a GQ... 4" + 35's on a 15x8 is a perfect combo. The vehicle looks larger than normal but still stock, rather than outragously lifted with huge tyres. Which is what you want imho

You will have to chop the rear of the rear gaurds & possibly push the front diff forward to avoid fouling.

At full articulation you WILL get rubbing on the inner rear wheel arches.
