31s on 2" lifted sammy
« on: April 13, 2005, 01:58:05 AM »
maybe a stupid question but ive got a 94 SWB sammy with 3" extended pick me up shackels (give me just over 2" of lift) and was wondering if i could fit 31\10.5 tyers until i save up for camini 3" lift kit.
stock wheels and tyers look to small and stability poor
???

Prob. not, you might go with 235's and loose fith gear but my 31's hit some times with five inches of lift.

4" is about the smallest amount of lift you can have without rubbing all the time with 31's

Im runnin true 32's with a 2" shackle lift on my sami,,, only rubs at full flex.... it all depends on how wide the tires are and how much backspacing your rims have

I'm running 235/75's and I haven't lost 5th gear just makes it a cruising gear not a acceleration gear.

I guess it depends on where ya live for fith gear,I'm at about 4800 ft, and in town is about 4300 ft, you loose about seven percent h.p. per thousand foot of elevation on a n.a. carbed engine, so I'm prob. at about 34 B.h.p. or so.  Hang on!

Really? maybe someone should tell my sammy that. They rub very slightly under full flex at full lock on steering.

Interesting your rear tire is off the ground not much flex??
