Eagle Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Actually, for 31.10.50s the stock steel rims would be a far better choice than the alloy rims. With stock backspacing, the tires will fit up inside the fenders when the suspension compresses. With the alloys that have less backspacing, the tires won't stuff, they'll hit the flares when the suspension compresses. To get around that, you'll have to extend the bump stops considerably, which limits your suspension travel. That's not a major issue on pavement, but it sort of defeats some of the purpose of lifting if you go off-road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 With the alloys that have less backspacing, the tires won't stuff, they'll hit the flares when the suspension compresses. Is this in the front or back? With the front bumper I'm making, I'll be cutting off the bottom portion of the front fender. Is this enough to help? To get around that, you'll have to extend the bump stops considerably, which limits your suspension travel. Speaking of bump stops... How big of a deal is it in the rear to extend em? Am I gonna waste my rear springs if I don't extend em? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Bumpstops are there to save your springs, shocks, tires, fenders or anything else back there that isn't designed to get smashed when the axle somes up to meet the frame. :D Extending them can be as easy as unbolting them and adding some steel between them and the frame. But watch for rust. The bolts on my 88 just snapped off and I ended up bolting the bumpstops to the axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
