Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ive got some stuff on the way i was just wondering is 2 1/2 inch spring lift enough clearance to run a set of kuhmo muds 30's which measure more 29 ish??? im not a fan of body lifts so maybe ill have to get a set of extendended shackles if 2 1/2 isnt high enough whats ppls thoughts and experiances on the matter

cheers.....

just wondering how much the 30in muddies set ya back,i need a new set of tyres shortly. PM if you like

Brownie,

put the car up on bocks, take off the wheels and get under the wheel arches with a hammer and flatted out every seam that sticks out that would cut into a tyre. Do the same for the under side of the flares too - they will cut into the tyre quite happily.

A set of 29's should fit on the car in stock form, but it will rub in various places when at full compression - but this won't be too much of an issue if you have flattened down any sharp edges that it may touch.

As for the 2.5" of spring lift, if it is an OME spring, i think you will find that the spring will still compress just as much as a stock spring - so the tyre will still tuck just as far up into the wheel well as it did before. The main difference will be the ride hight and the amount of droop that you will achieve with the longer spring.

If you are only trying to achieve an inch or so of lift, then a shackle extension might be the go.

what springs and shocks are you getting?

Cheers mate.

antt im getting the tyres off a mate so im not sure how much they would set ya back ill just give him what ever he wants for em.. couple a hundred. ive got some tyres but they arnt real big that you can buy if ya want but you want 30's aswell dont ya...

greg the springs are comming off me mate zook ive got no idea what springs they are but they are 2 1/2 inch lift they seem pretty good they work very well on the zook they are on now good flex. the kuhmo 30's actually measure bout 29 and abit anyways so with the 2 1/2 lift i think that it will work quite well. im thinking bout extended shackles could be a goer as for shocks havent thought bout that as yet will see when time comes around something cheap though id say...
cheers

no worries zukin , i'd really prefer to get 31's under it, but i doubt i'll be able to with out a body lift :( , or i could just take to the guards with the air hacksaw and a big hammer

mate the names brownie or as older ppl know me matt...

yeh i reakon get some 30's then im pretty happy with these 30's im getting bloody loud on road propably not the best tyre but they will be a good price and im just after some big rubber..
