new tires..need lift!

[bko4x4er]

ok i just got a set of 33x12.5's for the bko. i am planning on getting a 3'' body lift for 130 bucks because im on a budget. i dont have the money fro a susp. lift.

and i need the tires on now. the ones i have now leak every 2 days. so what im gona do is put the 33s on now stock and add the lift in about 3 weeks.

has anyone run a 3'' body lift with 33s

Well you dont need a lift with 33s you can run them with no rubbin if you have the right wheels, what you could do is drive it with the 33s and then save for a 4" suspension lift and 35s, by the time the 33s are worn out you could have enough money if you saved up.

DO NOT! I repeat DO NOT! use a body lift!

These things have been known to shear the bolts and send the body off the frame, very dangerous!

I am not the only one on here that will tell you this.

Do what Redneck said and just use the 33's on stock hight then save up for 35's and a 4" suspension lift.

ok. thanks. i have two courser m/ts and two bfg at's.

i plan on putting them on stock and saving up for a 2.5 susp. lift from rough country for 350.

thanks for the advice.

I wouldn't spend your money on a 2.5, it won't give you much and after you use it for a bit you will wish you went with a bigger lift. Some people have said that after they put on a 4", they wished they went with a 6".

Rough Country isn't that expencive...

I bought my 6" from these guys and it all looks great, everything I needed I bought and it cost me $645.50, that included shipping.

In the end, it's your money and your truck and you are going to do what you want and I am just offering you some ideas and hopefully save you the regrets later down the road.
