Whats a good 3 1/2 lift for a uncut and a tire size?

[rootbeer]

I admit it was because of seeing your bronco 1sicbronconut I decided not to cut mine and go with that combo of susp and body lift. Seeing you put in your rear panels was pretty cool. To answer Adarcy's question I am running single shocks at all corners and yes they are the shocks that wild horses sends with the lift. I almost forgot I had to use paint stripper on the shock studs up front as there was so much paint on them you could not see any threads and there was no way you could start the nut on. As far as pics go I am not a contributor yet but I have been thinking about it so I will work on that ;D. This is what it looked like when I bought it-

Here is my bronco with 33x9.50x15 with a 2.5 inch lift.

Once the BFG KO wares out I plan on going down a size. They don't make the 33x9.50 in the KO any more.

This is fun! Here's a few of mine (and/or formally mine)

Serioulsy, you guys have me honestly considering selling my current EB to get an uncut project, love the lifted uncut look.

yak67,

Man, I totally understand! The urge to own a LUBER didn't hit me until I turned 40. I had bought so many stock uncut EBs over the past 30 years and took a reciprocating saw to them I still have nightmares I always thought an EB uncut looked like something a grandpaw would drive, but but once I took the time to look at a LUBER, I couldn't not have one. Now as I creep toward grandpawism myself (still have a few years because my kids are only 10 and 12), I think they are the coolest of cools (still love them cut too)!

Arg, I wish I had gone with the 32's. Fill out the front that much better!

Hey Mac,

Did you have any problems with the 32 x 11's ever rubbing in the back on full stuff? I've got 31’s on my rig now and would like to squeeze in as much rubber as I can.

Thanks.
Craig

I'm going up a inch in lift this spring and putting 255/80/17 BFG muds on it this spring ;D It will also be sporting a Bronco camper till I get another rig built just for the camper.

What size are your km2's again?

Craig,

No rubbing yet. The most I have loaded it down is in the photo I showed in the snow. I had our 2 kids and 2 dogs in the back and a hitch hauler in the receiver hitch with 5 suit cases, full 5 gallon gas can, sleds and a full cooler on it. We drove about 100 miles on the road and then off road to the cabin and she never rubbed. That is probably the fullest I will ever be in the back end. Unloaded, I have a lot of room and about 2 inches of clearance from the edge of the tire to the rear fender lip. I am using 15x7 rims and the offset keeps them tucked inward. Here is a photo of it unloaded showing the clearance in the rear.

How much offset on the 15x7 wheels?

33 x 10.5 x 15 on old Ford F150 6" wide mags if you measure the tires they are really about 31.5" tall or so.

 

[Mac2Night]

Not for sure, will need to measure and get back to you.

I need an uncut

I need an uncut EB. These uncuts are awesome. Anyone want to trade an uncut for a 2000 BMW 528i?

 

[Mac2Night]

Is it uncut and lifted too? ;D
