I did a torsion twist. When I did the SOA, I took out the overload spring. It has a nice stance w/ a little rake which I like. I'm very satisfied...heres a pic.

I think the 32s look a little small. When they wear down 35s are goin on unless somebody talks me out of it.

 

[mitch]

i dont think anyone is going to do that

 

[TheRookie]

35's are going to require a good amount of cutting on the body to keep them from rubbing constantly. Not to mention they will probably still rub at full lock. The ofcourse there is the gearing issues. Perhaps you may want to considder a decent set of 33's

I have already taken care of the cutting. I've cut lots of sheet metal already because I thought I was going to get 35s last month but the pocketbook didn't pull through. I have considered 33s since I have 4.10 gears, but I did run my 32s w/ 3.27s for about 6 months and it wasn't that bad. I calculated that 4.10s and 35s is almost exactly the same as 3.27s and stock tires. So why not go all out.

Looks good.

 

[GJarrett]

I had 4.10 and lived with 35s as long as I could, but I couldn't take it anymore and had to finally go to 4.88. With 4.10 my transmission was constantly shifting back and forth going up any little hill or under any strain whatsoever. Just FYI about what worked for me.

Nice buildup BTW

 

[TheRookie]

Yeah I ran 35's with 4.10's for a while. man that SUCKED. I will never even considder that again

 

[stevewes2004]

Thanks for the input. I have a manual tranny so it won't be too terrible.

 

[FROADER]

I would go atleast 4.88s with 35s. I have 4.56s with 35s and don't really like it. I'm going 5.13 or maybe even 5.38 next. I'm also going for 37/38s.

 

[TheRookie]

Yeah I definately prefer 5.13s for 35's I ran them for a long time and loved it that way. My gas mileage got WAY better when I went from 4.10 to 5.13 not to mention I could actualy accelerate again

 

[dirtyXplorer]

Here is some better pics of mine

those are only 31"s for now but they dont look to bad.

 

[Burns]

['97 V8]

heres mine...

are your sway bars dc'ed? My rear flex's way more than that with them dc'd.

 

[biggs92EB]

are your sway bars dc'ed? My rear flex's way more than that with them dc'd.

no my sway bars are still connected. Ive been pondering the idea of disconnecting thre rears just to see... I had been using it as my DD, so i didnt want the negative affect of driving highway miles without my swaybar. Does it make that much of a difference? we basically have the same lift i have 2 inch coils/2 inch spacers. aal/shackles 2 inch PA BL

 

[410Fortune]

off road it makes all the difference
Unless your sway bars are setup to notlimit your travel.

Disconnect that sucker, you can get used to driving it to and from the trial wihout the sway bars no biggie
