price alright?
hey everyone,
im finally going to break down and put some new rims and tires on a
credit card, before i do i just want to make sure im getting a good deal..
i went to the local offroad shop and this is what he had for me:
4 31x10.50 truxus mts tires at 488
4 15x 7 A/R outlaw rims for 304
20 chrome nuts for 20 bucks
and 2 pairs of coil spring spaces for 113.82
after sales tax, recycle fees, mounting and balancing + labor it comes out
to be 1100 even.
i didn't really want the 2" spacer lifts since it doesn't do anything for
ground clearance but he said that i need at least 1.25 inches of body lift
to ensure no rubbing offroad..
thanks for everyones help

Re: price alright?
Not sure about the price since I haven't been in the market for any of
those items recently, but as far as the coil spacers go, they sure
*DO* do something for ground clearance. Unless you are talking about a
body lift? Coil spacers on a TJ will lift the entire vehicle up from
the axles, whereas the body lift will only lift the body up off the
frame. Make sure you know which one you are getting, and go with the
coil spacers IMO.

Re: price alright?
Ya, but the $113 he quoted you for the body lift is darn close to what
you'd pay for the coil spacer lift. The TeraFlex 'Budget Boost' I'm
running can be had for ~$125 or less. Body lifts are OK to eek an inch
or two if you need it after lifting the suspension I guess, but I
wouldn't go there in this case. You'd be much happier lifting the
suspension rather than the body I think.
