Leveling kits

[FtLaudBlkGT]

Looking to do the 3 inch front/2 inch rear leveling kit on my 2004 4x4, anything I need to be made aware of other than an alignment?

***** I already told you to get it, although now thinking about my text. 4x4 models on your model year sit higher. So that garage might be a problem

 

[FtLaudBlkGT]

Going to bring a tape measure tomorrow and see how much room I have.

If you do the lift then you need new tires, if not its gonna look retarted like you.

Problem is that if I get taller tires, I might not fit in the garage anymore.. Ughhh....

I think the 3/2 will do that already since its 4x4. So join the byebye garage club and get 35's

I'm guessing you guys know each other? haha, we have at least one member on here with 35's on a second generation, can't remember who though. you might want to talk to him.

on the old forum we had a few. and smooth had 33s on his after the 3/2 and it didnt look bad at all. and i could never fit in a garage. my baby was an outside baby from the start.

Here is one with a 3/2 on 17's and 35" tires

that looks like it would rub if it ever got twisty, any ideas if they rub up front - I am thinking 33's would be better unless you want to start removing some sheetmetal and fabing new fender flares

I would have to aggree. Although the say it will fit with the right offset, to me it looks like they are really stuffed in there.

03blkstanggt on the other forum has a 3/2 lift he removed the running boards and the inner liner on his expy. says no rubbing and at full compression you have about inch or so clearance.

And he's also running mudgrapplers which are nubby tires.

and 4x4 sit about an inch higher than 2wd.

Here are 35" mud grapplers on a 4x4 with a 4x4, now remember with a 20" tire your gonna have a smaller sidewall than that
