what's size tires are you going to put on??? I figure 4" is a good size lift, I didn't want it to be to top heavy. Maybe an 1" ORD body lift still not sure though. I plan on running 36x12.50x16's TSL radials on 16x8 black rock krawler rims and if they don't fit I'll just trim the fender in moderation.

I think I will go with 315/75-16 BFG 's.It will be for on road only.I have to wait and see how much lift I get in the front.I am running a big block.I might need ord zero rates.

i might be a liar it might be my springs or leafs. not sure.
But honestly im way to high im always afraid of clipping little ricers and crap and the parking lots are a joke. I got 35'' SupaSwamps and its pretty high. |

I am going with the AT's since it will be 99% on road.I'm thinking I will use the softride.I have them on my blazer and it rides better than stock.I will contact tuff before I buy,see what they recomend.On my 72 blazer,I think the sx8000,s give a pretty good ride.I am going with rancho rs9000's so I can adjust the ride a little.
