Re: Tire/Lift ?

Are you going to wheel it hard?
I'm running 39.5 TSL's and I rub the inner fenders with a 6/8" spring lift.
That's with my springs flattened out pretty much straight.

I've trimmed out as far as possible while still trying to keep the 'stock' look of the fenders.
Best case scenario would be to trim even farther.

Re: Tire/Lift ?

Yeah, that 9" of lift should be perfect. I got around 9"-10" of suspension and body lift on my '79 and it clears the tires perfectly.
