can i fit 38's with 4" of lift???

[colbystephens]

YES! just a bit of cutting... i had cut the bottom of the body off aout 6" up from the bottom and installed that 2x4, with some help from an AZ ck5er... now i gotta cut some more, but probably not to this body - the measurements listed below are what i will be doing to the '73 when i get to that point this week.

that's flexing out on a 2' step - i need some bump stops i think - because i've still got more droop in that suspension - but not a whole lot more compression. i figure i'll cut out the wheel wells and find a bigger place to check my flex and go from there.

with 38's installed, my original 35's sitting infront of rear tire to show tire size difference:

my 35's, my neighbors 37's and my 38's:

I had 38's on my blazer years ago and in actuallity my lift was consitered a 3" rancho soft ride for a 1/2t but with the d60 it measured 4" of lift. I only had very minor trimming on the front fenders.

BUT my 38's where 38x12.50x16.5's on 16.5x7.75 wheels so they was pretty narrow. after I cut my front fenders the only place I rubbed was the top of the rear wheel wells. They stuffed right up in there.

You are aware that those 38s will end up being taller once they are mounted and full of air right? Jus sayin...............lol
