Uncuts and Lifts

[Ohio Bronco 21]

Any of you running a lift and 31" tires on an uncut? What lift (suspension or body) do you have. Any pics? Im trying to make sure what I want to go with on my uncut. I have stock rims with 31 x 10.50 x 15 tires.
Thanks

Check out 68EB's gallery. He's running uncut, 3.5" of total lift and 31's.

My plan is 1" BL, already in place and 2.5" suspension. 31's (on a 7" wheel) to start then 17's in either 255 or 265 when I have more cheddar to throw at that option.

JCWalsh1 is running 2.5" SL only and 255/70/17 on a 17x8 w/ 4.5" BS. That's basically a 31x10 tire. No rubbing issues.

From everything I've been reading (alot) 31's are fine as long as you stick to a 6" or 7" wheel with 3.5" total lift and proper back spacing. This is for street use, off road and really trying to flex, a 30x9.50 might be the better option. I'm sure those who know more than me will chime in.

A 3.5" lift will allow 34x9.5 tires on 7" rims. I run them, see the white one here at the bottom of the page:

I do need to trim just a little where the tires rubbed on some extreme stuff at fawl crawl last year. It self clearanced and I haven't cut off the little bit yet.

Thanks, I am going for that perfect look and pictures are the only way to really guage it.

I know that look. Been chasing it myself for about 10 months now. 68EB's pictures have a great balance I think. Redneck21's gallery also has some great pictures of his dad's ride on 30's and supposedly a 3.5" lift. From the pictures, the suspension must be old and settled quite a bit because it looks way tighter than 68 EB's on 31's. But I still think it looks awesome.

Here is my 66 with 30x9.50x15 would like to go with 31's also.
I have a 2.5 WH's suspension lift and a 1" WH's bodylift.
The pic with the top off is a 2.5" suspension with no bodylift.
Both with stock rims.

I got an uncut with a wild horses 2 and a half inch lift and 30x 9.5 tires mounted on 15x 7.5 wheels and now I feel good about the look.

This thread is like uncut heaven. Nice rigs guys!

[ironhead]

I think this setup is what I will eventually run. right now, I'm sittin on an old old 2.5 lift, and 32x 11.5. ironically, it clears the rear okay , but the fronts do hit, especially when hittin bumps through a corner. nothin a sawzall couldn't fix. and...I can't seem to upload my favorite flexy pic of it for some reason.

74' sitting on stock suspension rock'n 32X11.5X15 BFG A/T's



All I did was roll the rear fenders - it does rub on the passanger side once in awhile... truck must not be sitting perfectly level.

That truck looks great ironhead!

You had any luck finding more pics? Uncuts & 31's are tough to find. Everyone seems to go either 30's or 33's.

This is a great thread as just bought another Bronco--66 uncut.

I'm curious how's the flex leaving it uncut

 

[Ohio Bronco 21]

Cruizer, that sits really nice. Love the green.
