LUBR Tire/Lift Help

[marcussly27]

Hello everyone. I've searched several threads but haven't found a good answer to my questions below. What's the max tire I can fit under the following lift combos?

I had a LUBR with a 2.5 SL, no BL and 31x10.5 on 15s but would prefer to get more rubber on the road with the smallest lift possible. I considered 285/70s at one point but after talking to Duffy it sounds like a huge hassle (have to shorten rear axle among other things). I'm leaning towards circleracing.com 108 series wheels 17x7 and would assume I'll need at least 4 inches of backspacing depending on the setup.

THANK YOU in advance!

2.5 SL, NO BL, move rear axle back 1 inch
- 265/70/17 (31.6 x 10.7) BFG KO2s..... YES?
- 275/70/17 (32.2 x 10.9) BFG KO2s..... NO?

2.5 SL, 1 BL, move rear axle back 1 inch
- 265/70/17 (31.6 x 10.7) BFG KO2s..... YES?
- 275/70/17 (32.2 x 10.9) BFG KO2s..... YES?

i've done the 2 1/2" + 1" with a 17x8" wheel and 4.5" backspacing and a 265/70/17 tire a few times. No need to move the axle back in any case.

My Garage has an Orange 69 which has this set-up. The 69 Gobi has a 3 1/2" Lift and same tire/wheel.

Thanks! Do you think I could get away with no body lift and just the 2.5 SL on those 265/70s? If not, would moving the rear axle back an inch do the trick? I'm trying to avoid the body lift if I can.

I would think the 275/70s would fit with the 1 BL, 2.5 SL, and moving the rear axle an inch...?

May rub with just the 2 1/2" lift???

Personally, I'd do the 1" body lift compared to moving the axle back.

I think the axle back 1" looks better then stock. I personally love a 1" BL. Since it helps with installing so many things!

Does moving the axle back 1" affect anything? Shock mounts maybe?
