If I decided to go with only the 2-2.5" lift should would you recommend a body or suspension lift?

Also, I made a phone call to a local tire place that has pretty good prices and he said his most common is the 235/75/15 Goodyear Wrangler rts and next best would be 235/75/15 Cooper Mastercraft AXTs. Any thoughts or suggestions about those tires?

Thanks for the replies by the way, really appreciate it!!!!

I have the RR 2.5" OME lift, 235/75 tires. No body lift.  You will be amazed at what this truck can do with this setup.

If you are concerned about what your truck looks like, you probably should be driving something else.

Suspension.  Love my OME springs.  Not hot on spacers though.


Ugh, STAY AWAY from the Wrangler RT/S.  POS all season tire that sucks onroad and is horrible off.  Ancient design too.

No experience with the Mastercraft AXT's but their previous generation AT's were pretty good.

Make sure you get LT235/75R15's.  The LT means it's a Light Truck tire.  The tire carcass is designed for truck use.  Don't let them sell you a cheaper P235/75R15.  That's a tire in a truck size but built to passenger car tire specs, even if it has mud or all terrain tread.  Lame and weak.  If you're going to use your 4x4 as a truck and 4x4 buy 4x4 tires.  Usually less than $100 difference per set.

AJMBLAZER - Thanks for the input on the wranglers!!

ShapeShifter - I've kind of started leaning more towards that RR 2.5" OME lift. I'm liking that brush guard? you have on the tracker, where'd you pick that up at?

I think its a Westin.  Its really not that great but it gives a little bit of protection when climbing down off a slab.

If you're doing a 2" lift only then for sure go with the suspension lift. 

Body lift just fits an inch bigger tires.  Well, the other thing the body lift does is keep your rockers from being damaged because on these vehicles the frame and rocker panel are level with each other.  You will notice on most pickups or jeeps the frame is lower than the rockers.

Wish I had done the BL same time as the suspension I would not have destroyed my rockers.  But my inner cheapo was telling me that BL's are useless and that a susp lift was good enuf. That and I read some crap that BL raises the centre of gravity more. But in hindsight that makes no sense, a susp lift raises it more because it is raising the whole vehicle not just the cab.

ahhh I went wheeling last night! it was deep and muddy and i painted my truck brown...2 zuks, no one got stuck, no one broke anything

I never think to get pictures while we're actually wheeling...guess I'm too bust driving and having fun lol.

my tracker! Plan on adding a lift soon, just not sure what kind. Also want to make a roof rack and front and rear bumpers

White is a great color for an off road vehicle.  It really hides the scratches and if you live where I do the trail are very grown in you get steady scraping of the sides.. You only notice those scratches on mine if you look just in the right light.

You'll find plenty of info and helpful people on here.

hay bush buster what are the rims on the white vitara off of? and are they 15 or 16?

Here's my '99 Tracker. It's my daily driver that I use to commute 115 miles 1 way to work. I just picked up the Eagle Alloy 16's with the 245/50's for a steal. I know most of the guys on here like 'em lifted, but this works just fine for me! Oh yeah... I need to cut out & replace the driver's side rocker.

It doesn't matter what others think or do... you are paying the bills and driving the truck.  It's your trucklet and if it works for you, then we are good with it.  It's still a Suki.  Nice looking truck, OBTW.

Thanks, I'm quite happy with it. It's amazing how much the wider tires improve the overall ride and handling!
