Fitting 35's to a Rangie
« on: November 26, 2007, 20:34:11 »
Just wondered how high it would need to go and how much trimming the arches etc would require?

im planning on a 2" sus lift along with a 2" body lift

You might want to think about replacing the drives shafts/ transferbox and or diffs.
Its not as simple as just making room under the wheel arches for the new rubber to fit.

you'll be ok with 35's just got be alittle bit more careful really oh and cut your pannels and rear doors (4 door) alittle.

Roccia arches will allow a rangie to go to 36 inch tyres, 2 inch lift will be fine :)

This is a friends bobtail



2" suspension and 3" body lift with some arch trimming on 35x10.50
At the time he was on standard axles and was giving it some stick on the end of a KERR at one point (only stopped when he got stuck in the holes he had just dug), though he was carrying spare shafts and CVs.
