i ran 31x11.50s on a 15x7 and 15x8 rallye rim for quite some time..

robby, I have 33x12.50 BFG'S on regular old rally rims and havent had any problems.

I run 33x12.50's on my 6 hole 15 inch ralley's but I have 2 inch lift on both my 4x4's.

robby · 12-21-2002, 05:30 PM

Blazerman, What kind of lift do you have? Teeitup, are you satisfied with your 2" lift? I looked at the truck today but the guy is out hunting mountain lions.

Robby, I love my 2 inch lift, its high enough to look good and I can still crawl up into the truck. I think the 33's look just right on it. I've has 4 inch lifts before but 2 is my preference. Randy

Mine is a 2-1/2" Skyjacker, new springs front and back with Off Road Design heavy duty greasable shackles, I am also using a skyjacker 2" drop pitman arm and an front sway bar adapted from my old 84 blazer. The ride is much better than stock.

robby · 12-23-2002, 10:30 PM

blazerman, tell me about the sway bar installation. Is it pretty starightforward?

robby · 12-23-2002, 10:34 PM

yep- I am from Missouri. So show-me how to spel

blazerman- Ilooked at the old post. Are those two different trucks? It looks like the first one used a bracket that was already there and the last one had a bolt on bracket. Is that right? Are there holes already or did you have to drill them?
