32's on a 2" lift? I've got 32's on a 4.5" lift and there's just barely enough room for the tires...

4.5" lift vs 2" lift is only higher. 32's tuck well. I have a small amount of rub but I make the most of down troop. there is more down droop to be had with this setup. I may go shock hunting. I dont follow, I imprevise. I am cutting out the wheel wells for bigger tires, adjusting bumpstops, and sway bar disconnects. see where it takes me before I go bigger. I may develop a new 2" lift and start my own lift company. LOL. dont worry it is controvertial topic. there are many 4X4 guys who like LCG to prevent roll over and dont mind dragging the truck over some obstacles.

point though is the wheel wells fit 32's, barely, stock or lifted with some rub.

Actually, it's 2.5" ;)

Anyway, with the amount of lift I've got, I rub when the axles start articulating (Especially in the rear) which is why I am somewhat surprised by what you are saying. At the very least, your upward travel must be quite limited by comparison...I agree that the lower center of gravity is better then monstrous amounts of lift, but I think it's better to find a balance between tire size, lift height and axle travel...Of coarse it all depends on the type of terrain you're dealing with too, so maybe articulation doesn't really matter nearly as much as diff clearance...

In any case, looks good...just looks like a really tight fit! But, as long as it does what you want it to do, it's cool!

i dont get it. why would you think with articulation you would be better than moi?
you flex more. your tire comes as close as the vehicle as mine does. same rub.
I have a magazine with a lift guide that states for 32" tires you need 2" with trimming.

any way it is temporary. plan was lift, trim. gears with wheels wrapped with 35"s. but tires rotted out, literally. so i went as big as i could. what will kill you is i did 265/75r16 BFG MT KM2 x5 for $1100 Canadian cash, done, going down the road. Crazy deal.

I never said I was better then you...In my experience though, the more room my axles had to move, the more traction I was able to get on terrain that's not level, or multi-leveled...instead of a tire hanging in the air...Don't take it as a personal "I'm better then you" type thing though...because that was not my intention...

Smokin' price on the tires!

Hey Craig, saw Kitkat's pics of your trip on the weekend. Where did you guy's go?

WJCraig

Went around the East side of Stave Lake a little...until the snow stopped us...(see video link)

Once the snow melts a little more we'll be able to explore a little further...but for now, it's still a little deep.

Man I miss BC! Nice area there, have you been up to the cabins at the north end of Harrison?

well i ripped off half my exhaust today... so im starting off to a great season for sure
i thought i was going to scrape... but i didn't hear a scrape... rather that then my muffler getting ripped off and extremely loud exhaust tone instead haha...

i needed to off set my muffler anyways... so yaye... i definitely have to do it now ...
its just a bit lower than stock... so i dont know i just need to offset it away from the frame abit to stop the rattle i sometimes get...

just wondering what kind of exhaust modifications am i going to need when i throw on the 6.5" lift towards the end of the year...

WJCraig

I don't think so...But I saw a few rickety cabins along the Whipsaw...
