I asked a local 4x4 shop about lifts and they told me that whenever I raise my truck I need to compensate with wider tires to keep stability... is this what backspacing is all about? helping maintain stability?
It is always better to go wider......so go with a 265x75x16
it will be taller about32" and wider than stock plus it will fit on factory 16" rims.
Oh' and when you crank the torsion bars up to match the rear lift the rodeo will be alot more stable on the roads....almost like a very fat corvette <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />
-This is my DD truck so do you think I should stick to All Terrain tires intead of Mud tires.? (I drive about 120 miles highway daily, sometimes more). Oh, and I also read I can go up to 7 inches with suspension lift and body lift... will that afect my 'comuting experience'?
Don't go bigger than 32's if there are hills there <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> and yes AT's would be better.....look at the Revo's several folks have them and like them.
I think I may buy piece by piece... first the OME coils, then the Racho 9000's... can I just change the coils and keep my current shocks? (I bought them like 2 months ago... before I started looking at off roading) or should I go for the whole package?
yes and no <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> you can put the coils in and lift the front..but when you hit a big bump or curb <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> the back will max out the shocks and your kidneys will almost make your seat wet <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> but I have over 30k on mine with stock shocks which are due to be changed out with the longer ones in the back of the truck(for almost a year <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />now)
-Like I said my truck is 2WD, what kind of offroading would I be able to do after the suspension lift... I think that mud will be a no no, but how about going over some rocks or ditches?
lock it up in the back and you'll embarras alot of "4wd's" that are open/open......it's really a good feeling <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
