Need a Spot
|
I tried to put my old 33X12.5X15 wheels(from another toy) on my factory 1997 t100. They fit, but they rub in the front on the fenders when I turn. I was looknig to find an easy way to avoid this. Can I get these 0-2" 3-4" skyjacker shocks to lift enough, or are these shocks for after you have already lifted the drivetrain? Otherwise what is the cheapest body lift kit out there that's not to hard to install?

Biggest you can fit with no lift is 32's, you will need to either lift it 2" through the body (easiest) or suspension.

Not necessarily... If you flatten the body seam well enough & turn the rear corner in, you can get away with the 33's. I did for 2 yrs - rubbed some, but not too bad. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
Any body lift is time intensive, but not that tough... BJ spacers are easier, imo... About the same price.

The shocks will not lift anything. The lift numbers are for shocks to fit trucks with certain size lift kits.
The cheapest/easiest option is to do a little trimming of the plastic and hammering of the firewall/body seam area (the metal is very soft).
The second easiest option would be ball joint spacers.
A bodylift is an option too, but then you have to deal with the shifter issue.

I've got a brand new in the box, 2" Body Lift kit from Performance Accessories, that has been sitting in my garage for about two years. Last time I checked they were going for $150-$180. I'm probably not going to install it so if anyone is interested in it, send me a PM. I'm not even sure if they're still selling these for the T100's (haven't checked lately) but I'd sell mine for $100-ish with shipping. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
