a few coil spacer and tire questions
« on: March 23, 2012, 08:31:07 AM »
Hi, i have a 2003 2 door tracker and just ordered jeff1997s kit, it should be here soon. I have a few questions.

When the front gets lifted is the track of the wheels going to be reduced? So do i need spacers for my wheels then? I plan on getting some goodyear wrangler territorys (http://bit.ly/GROaz7) in the next few days because they are on sale for a good price, the smallest size they offer is lt235/75/15 though (to put on after the lift), will this be safe to mount on a 5.5 inch wide rim? Also is there anything to watch out for during the install or special tools needed not mentioned in the instructions?

ty in advance (i'm a noob to 4x4 be easy lol)

New tires on the 5.5 rims will work.  All i can suggest after the install is a good 4 wheel alignment.  Should solve any greif you might have with the lift.  Im running the same tires on my truck and really like them.  Think you will too.

Yeah i was planning on getting one after the lift. glad to hear those tires are nice, so cheap compared to anything else with a decent off-road tread. picking them up today, extra motivation to get the lift on sooner!
