lift?

[Sam 10b]

My buddy wants to lift his k5 and run some 35s that he has. He asked me how much but now he wants a second opinion, what type and how high, keep in mind that this guy is going to wheel.

BDS or TC, 4" if he does not mind /forums/images/graemlins/hack.gif the fenders, 6" if he is scared of the /forums/images/graemlins/hack.gif

A little trim and some hammer swings...
No lift required /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif
I run 35X14's that way , mind you I don't go nuts jumping and such

4" TC easy rides. 4" shackle flip rear, oh and a teeny little bit of /forums/images/graemlins/hack.gif /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif

6" lift would be preferable.

 

[Sam 10b]

I told him that his center of gravity would be too high to really do anything with his truck. But he doesn’t want to cut his truck like mine so I don’t know what he should do.

 

[rjfguitar]

His CG with a 6" and 35's would be fine for almost any situation that occasional wheelers encounter.

i fit 36in iroks with a 4in tc lift. only had o cut the corners off the edge of the fenders for them to fit. /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I have 9" of lift and my 35's still smash the front fenders.

 

[Sam 10b]

I just don’t understand why you would put that much lift on your truck with 35s, I have 4inches and 38s (granted the finders are cut) but I don’t rub at all and as low as my truck is I still have trouble keeping it on all fours.

Ha, I have about 10" of lift on 35x16 boggers. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I did it because it looks good and I don't have to worry about chopping or hitting my fenders. I don't know what kind of stuff you are wheeling in if you have a hard time keeping 4" and 38's on the ground. I have never had a tipsy momment, besides how tall my K5 is but I do have a VERY wide stance. I run 90% mud and 10% misc. of hillcliming(never had a scary momment climbing) and racing.

Judging from the picture I can see why. All I see is flat terrain./forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

Wow, it looks good?

I plan to try 35s with a 4in tuff country HD Suspension lift and 4in shackle flip in the rear. Hope it works, I hope to not have to trim but sometimes u gotta do what u gotta do.
