tire size

What's the best tire size for a 4 inch lift 35s or 33s

 

[Tacoma]

What kind of questions are these!?

Do you like roller skates?
Do you have enough gear for 35's?
Do you have 35's?

35's will fit with no lift, if your springs aren't jacked to hell. They'll rub like crazy when you flex but they'll fit. 33's will fit with no problem at all.

he just doesn't get it. these random questions are going to stop people from helping you out.

make a single post with all the information about your rig and what you would like to accomplish. you will get better results.

allowances for youth aside, Shawn makes a good point. "what kind of XXXXX is best" is unanswerable without further information.

For instance, if you're crawlin' the mall, 40's will be great on a 4" lift.

For a 4" lift 35's look better.You will have to cut the back of the front fenders.
Now going back to your earlier question of 3/4 ton or 1 tons.35'ers and 1 tons are just stupid.I wheeled a 77 Suburban on 33" swampers on 1/2tons with Detroit EZ-Lockers for years.Pulled the drivetrain and put it in a '73 Blazer.Ran the 33"s for a while then went to 36" swampers.Only broke a front u-joint once.And I am talking hard trails.21 road,Battlement Mesa,Hells Revenge.After a few years pulled it all again and put it in a CJ-7.ran this for about 3 years.Still no issues.Sold it to a buddy.He didn't have any problems till he slapped a set of 38" Swampers.Now it has a D60 in the rear and the same D44 in front.

My Stock CUCV with new stock springs and 315/75r16 tires (34.7) I couldn't even turn the wheel without hitting a fender. The same tires on an unknown used lift ( guessing 4"lift) had to be trimmed quite a bit on both sides of the fender to eliminate the rubbing. The wheels are 10" wide with an unknown backspacing.

This is before.

This is after.

These are going on when I find some re-centered H1s

My other Suburban fit 35's without hitting anything. The current one with shot springs rubs over pebbles with 33's...

The Blazer is on 35's and a 4" lift and has plenty of room until I stuff a tire... but I don't have new bumpstops on yet, either.

Find 406YJ on Pirate, he is selling recentered 8bolts for $100 each right now... regular price is $200ea for either 8 or 12 bolt rims. Pressed centers too, which I recommend.

Got room for that bed yet? I'm egar to figure out how to bend pipe
Is 406YJ a vendor on pirate?
Thanks again for your help recently, I did the kingpin rebuild on the Dodge and it's mucho better now.

With my suburban I can fit 35s with no problem knowing I only have 1 35 for a spare with out cutting the fenders and I'm going to be running 15x10 rims on it

 

[blackburban]

So I might go with 35s just trying to find some good cheep ones

Ok, so why the $@%@#$ are you asking the question?!?!

I fit 35's with no rubbing at full stuff with a 4" lift I'd say 33's for 2.5" 35's for 4" and 37's for 6"

 

[blackburban]

was just asking to get inport for it so I can get an idea on how to build a 4 wheeling rig cause this is my first rig that I'm building

 

[Tacoma]

I can tell you that a Burb is going to stay just as long and wide as it is, lift or not. Even with a lift, your breakover sucks.

and it's "input".

 

[blackburban]

I know it ain't going to change the width of it or changing how long it is trying to get it where it can flex good

 

[ALF]

I know it ain't going to change the width of it or changing how long it is trying to get it where it can flex good

if you're after flex then you'll want 52" springs up front and a shackle flip with 56" or 63" springs out back...but keep in mind it's a burb its' looong and won't flex like a shortbed or a blazer

 

[blackburban]

Ya I know about that. And I'm realy don't have much funds to put into it

 

[blackburban]

And I'm kinda stuck with 3 31s and 1 35 lol

 

[Tacoma]

run what you have then. More flex = longer brake lines, shocks, some relocation of mounts etc, modified driveshafts etc.

You might find that you don't want to bother on a burb, after you get it out on the trail. You might find that you do. *shrug* Personally, I'm not bothering with longer springs on the Blazer just yet... they'll either be the last mod, or the mod I don't do right before I buy something smaller to swap all the parts onto.

4.10's aren't hard to find in the yards, and cheap. Look at 3/4t stuff, pretty common ratio on 'em.
