2wd lift

[k_aimone]

So I am a FNG looking for some help. I have a 05 2WD EB and I want to lift it alittle. I would like to fit 33"s on an aftermarket set of 18" wheels. Is it possible to do it and keep the tires inside the body work. If you have done something like this please post pics and info.

Ciao
Ken

u can do it...many have done it on here and should be able to search in the 2nd gen area or in aftermarket/exterior/suspension areas to find ppl that have done it...a few have 35s

I'm working on the same thing. only mine is a 4x4 king ranch.have 33" on order 18x9 and I'm trying to keep them even with the fenders. my wheels r on order so I should see them soon.

What is your wheel offset. I hate it when the tire pokes past the fender

 

[Ripp]

Well the guy told me +1mm will stick out 1 inch farther then stock.

I'm working on a bull bar, but with 4 kids, Christmas, and going to school, I'm kind of broke lol.

I'm trying to decide on a full black or black with a brushed aluminum bottom brush guard.

And by the way, this dude is a chick.

hey let me ask you some things... you have had that lift for how long? how does the ride feel? and finally how much roughly was the install?

The ride is perfect. Feels like factory suspension wise. The tires add a vibration naturally from the nobby tires. Not a shake you out of your seat vibration. You can just feel the big lugs.

As far as install, my husband and I installed it in the driveway with 2 jacks and stands (and wood blocks once lifted) Didn't take but about 2 hours total and we we're goofing off and I repainted all of the wheel wells black in the meantime. Its pretty simple if you have any mechanical experience or can have someone help you that does.
