Lift needed to clear 32's or 33's

[nfrey2]

I'm running the stock links with no drivetrain vibration. I got the rims and tires from 4 wheel parts during a special they had. $649 rims and tires mounted and balanced ended up being $720 to my door.

does anyone know what wheels these are? They look like the American Racing wheels I have, only wider. Thanks!

NM ..... they're 15x8 American Racing from Gulf Coast Rovers.

Very very tempting ........

is it true with 3' RTE springs that I need to buy links? the only problem with a body lift is the bumper looks kindof funny with that gap and installing it looks like a bitch. I'd much rather have a 3' RTE with cones, and get links down the road. But it seems that 33''s are possible with 2' but will the 3.5 push it and the 10 spline hold up?

If you are not goping to do a body lift, make sure that you lengthen your bump stops so that they will not hit. 3.54 diffs and 10 spline axles will handle 33's without any issues. You might find it a bit sluggish on the road on hills. If you go to 4.11 diffs, you will need to upgrade the axles.

The blue rangie at the beginning of this link http://rangerovers.net/outfitting/ti...ssictires.html
is mine with 33 inch (255/85/16) tyres on standard width discovery rims. However the rims have had the centres cut out and reversed for the extra off set. The rangie has a 2 inch body lift. The wheel arches had to be cut to fit the wider tyres and different offset. Even with cutting the guards the tyres were hitting with a 2inch spring lift and a 1 inch body lift. I had to go to a 2 inch body lift. But I do have softer springs that the spring lifts you buy off the shelf as I wanted to retain the full articulation of the axles.

I have them on my 93 LWB. They are 15 by 8 and I have a 33/12.5 BFG MT mounted on them.. I have a 2 inch lift via OME springs and Bilstein shocks.. They still rub, so I have some more cutting to do, but a 2 inch body lift would help..
