M1A1TankerTom Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 If you had a comanche that does a little street driving but is mostly used for wheeling would you rather have a 4.5 long arm lift with 33 inch tires or a 6.5 long arm lift with 35 inch tires? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86customanche Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Well it really depends on what kind of wheeling you plan on doing. A lot of rocks and sideways angles, the 6.5 may make it a little top heavy and want to roll over easier but will also have more clearance. For me, I don't do rock crawling really at all, mostly mud holes and trails here in VA, Id go with the 6.5 and 35s because I'm not too worried about being a little top heavy. I want the extra ground clearance so I don't get stuck in mud that 35s offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm a big fan of a low COG and less stress on the axles, so 4.5/33s for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmontes Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 4.5 / 33's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Why not 4.5 and 35s? :D just trim and bumpstop accordingly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Rear 35? If so, I would address that before 33's or 35's, if you're going to wheel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 6.5 and 33s is the ticket. more then enough flex and the height is perfect IMO. 4.5 will leave you wanting more even with 33s. i ran 4.5 for the longest and it just didnt feel right to me. i was mainly on 31s but had 33s on a run or two. it got me through some $#!& but now at 6.5 and 33s it blows anything that gave me trouble before out of the water. i have RK long arms.

btm24 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Duplicate reply I HATE that, Anyways if I could I would have done 35's but 33's do what they need. And go as high as you can wish I was at 6.5" Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I'm a big fan of a low COG and less stress on the axles, so 4.5/33s for me. :agree: Especially after wheeling an MJ with a 4" lift and 31s. Lower is better -- I don't ever advise going any higher/bigger than you absolutely need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
