15 inch fit?

[AaronLG]

Just found a good deal on craigslist. 35/12.50/15 tires with 15in wheels. Will they fit on my 99 4x4 with 3/2 lift?

Doubt it. Calipers and such. You probably have 16 or 17 inch rims right now. I have 35 x 12.5 /16's right now with 5 inch lift and they fit just about right. I don't think 3 inches of lift will do it. Not to mention the 15's won't work with our

Cool, thanks. Was hoping it would work. Guess I'll stick to the 33's.

yeah what he said, 35s will not work min lift you need is 5 inches, if you want to run the 35s, pick up a 3 inch body lift, they are 200$ get it in and you can run the 35s, just besure if you body lift the truck you check EVERYTHING first to be sure its going to lift, and not be a problem, if you want to know about lifting body check out my thread on lifting my expy, did mine by my self, wish i would have had help. but i did it,

what they said.... need 16" or bigger rims to clear brakes.... I want 20's or 22's but for price of 37's to fit 20's or 22's I need to sell a kidney or something...lol

if you want to know about lifting body check out my thread on lifting my expy, did mine by my self, wish i would have had help. but i did it,

Did you ever make a thread on that, or are you just talking my thread about body lifts, that you were adding to. http://expeditionforum.com/showthread.php?t=4985

Cuz you should really make an official thread with pics and such in the 'how to area'. Would be beneficial to a lot of members .

 

[walnuts4x4]

you should do the BL thread.... then someone should do the fabtech one.... lol sorry not me already done... ROLMAO.... maybe when I get rich I'll do the rockwell thread and 460 swap....

sorry lane, I added to yours, being that it was lift orentated, trying to keep new post down

No, don't be sorry. I was serious. You should take some of that info and the pics, and make a thread in the ' how to ' section. Give members an idea that it's a cheaper alternative, but very, very labor intensive.
