Do Dennis' lift and go with the 30x9.5"s.......Wishing I had My wrecked KIA so I could sell ya'll parts.
(Who am I kidding........I'd be emptying my pockets to fix it!) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

30x9.50's fit stock, I have proof! this is my rig on F150 rims so the offset is a bit much and the front bumper needed cutting, and the firewall size needed some hammering on the pinch seam. but it WILL work stock!

These are the boys heading on to the truck once the alignment and lift are done (should be fairly soon!)the rims are not my first choice, but $45 for all 4 rims, I couldn't pass it up, so now I have 2 full sets of wheels.

Those look like my rims! Except for the round vent holes, mine have laid back triangles. my even have the same silly plastic nubs. Ordered mine from Les Schwabs, Panther Custom Wheel and they have a nice backspace.
Took my front bumper off after my lift. (bumpers aren't required in Oregon <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />) kept it around for a few years, planned on cutting off lower half like some of the guys on here do. ended up selling it for $125 a few months ago.
Some of the most well done rigs I go 4bying with, are built by guys not with a bigger wallet than me, but have better skill and more free time to build. Understanding wife and/or girlfriend helps too

I was just checking out your car domain page, that sand looked like a blast! I would love to do that someday.

also looks like you found out why bead locks are a good idea for off roading! but I won't have them either, I will take a spare with me though, nice to have an extra set of wheels!

on the body lift, do you discard the bottom bushing, or is there still enough thread left with that puck in there? And aside from the install was there anything that needed to be changed? I'm not sure I need to do a body lift, but we'll see!

are you running open diffs, or do you have a stock LSD? and did you hang with the guys pretty well on the trails? I am excited to play with this thing off road once its ready (soon soon!)

I may have made a mistake, I had a set of 31" buckshots (true 31's) but I sold them (before I knew about the lift kit) so now I have a hair over 29's <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I think there is a club in grants pass, but I don't think anything in my local area set up for off roading.
