is a 1" BL worth the time, effort? thinking a 1"BL and a small amount of Torsion crank be enough not to rub 32"s or even fit 33"s.

With a 1" and some torsion bar crank, you could do 32's.

For all the effort, why would you not want to put a 2"? You could still put 32's if you wanted.

Just curious.

Forget about 33" with a 1"BL -wont work. The 32" tires should fit without a BL so long as you are not running an aftermarket wheel that changes the back spacing. A 1" BL would be fine BUT don't do it to increase tire size, only do it to be 1" taller than the rest of the T100s. I did a 2" BL and I am happy with it every day (except when I see one with a 4" suspension <img border="0" alt="[Baby]" title="" src="graemlins/baby.gif" /> ) Just my opinion.

i have the 32s on right now, they're just rubbing lots...took a chunk off one of the lugs with i think one of the bolts that hold the mudflaps on...
i was thinking 1" BL cause I don't want to do too many mods - don't you have to bend the shifter or something. also, i don't like the look of trucks with body lifts too much, but now that i've been looking in to it more, since the body sits on the frame lower than on 'normal' trucks, a 2" might not be that bad...
whats all involved exactly with putting on a BL? talking all the extra stuff like radiator, bumpers, etc...

So, does all that mean that if a guy only wanted to doa 1" lift, there would be no other mods required?
