Default Lift and tire thoughts

Hi everyone,

So as of right now I'm thinking aev 3.5 premium lift with the 4.5" kit bumpstops. Then either 37x13.5x17 Toyo mt, or 37x12.5x17 Cooper discoverer stt. With the toyos I would add 1.5" spidertrax spacers to my 4.6 bs wheels. With Cooper I would leave em alone.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

Sean

Sounds like a good plan. You will love the look of 37's. I guess I am biased bit I love my Full Traction 3" economy lift, and it clears 37's with stock bumper and fenders just fine. Plus it was an affordable lift that you can add to overtime.

But right now, I have no noticeable bump steer, death wobble, or any other type of steering issues and I am about 5,000 miles into the lift and 37's. Plus all of this is on a D30!

I was thinking 3" full traction. But I want more lift height.

I would beef up the 30 first and avoid hardcore wheeling.

EDIT: I see that you have gussets and sleeves. I don't know if that would be bullet proof with 37s... and gear ratio?
