Getting the Wheeling Fever

Has anyone tried the Air Lift Suspension. I want to put bigger tires on but I am worried about rubbing. I thought this might be a good way to get more clearance. Any pro's/cons?

Stock will handle 32s with minor trimming to the front bumper end caps.

How big r u planning to go?

As for an airlift, i prefer a pair of gen II coils over the air lift setup unless your going bigger than 33's...

33's would be nice but that's where the lift comes in. 32's would be good if I didn't have to do much.

Canyon. if you want, I'll help you install a body lift. We can do it in a couple of hours and the total cost is about $125. You'd be able to fit 33's no problem then.

that would be great Johnny B. I am just a few pay checks away and I'll be able to do it. Buy the 33's, that is. Also, I am replacing the valve cover gasket. By the way, after rotor, pad and bearing replacement, the squeak as survived. it almost deserves to be there. Almost.

Did you check your sway bar bushings?
