well I still can't decide on a 2-2.5" or 4" lift. i'll probably run 33's, but I don't wnat to get the 2-ish" lift, and then wish I got the 4, or visa-versa.
This is where you guys come in

. Please post some pics of your 2 or 4 inch lifts to help me decide. thanks!

4" lift with 33's. I think teeitup has basically the same truck with a 2 1/2 " lift.

33's will fit with no lift. I ran 33 14.50 Mickey Ts with no lift on my Jimmy and 8" rims. They did rub at full lock on the leaf springs, but 12.5 should not. I still think that the 2 1/2" lift is max I would do with 33's.

4" Rancho front springs, 4" National rear leafs with 35 14.5 Mickey T Baja Belteds circa 1990:

Same lift, but 35 12.50 BFG MTs. The BFG were nearly an inch taller than the Mickeys, this photo in 2000:

Here's a pic of my truck when it had 4" of lift and the 35"s

It must have been my offset because with 33's on a 10" rim I had big interference problems with no lift. The tires would rub on the front portion of the fender, where it comes to a point.

There is a 4in on the 12bolt carnage thread.

JJk10 · 04-18-2003, 12:25 AM

I had the same problem the breeh metioned. I think my rims are 10" wide and the tires where 1/4 warn gerneral mud tires and they rubbed near full turn. I went with the 4", due to the similar costs and the fact that I could lift it 4" without and driveline modifications. 2 1/2 should do very well with 33's...with a 4inch lift there is plenty of room. best of luck
