Tips on Body lifts. 40 Toyo,s wont fit

[Army_Cowboy]

If he does the Leveing kit his front end will sit 2" higher then his rear end just like Skyd Ram pointed out. You could look at trimming your fenders a little like bthanks also pointed out as well. The other option would be to get the 2" Leveling kit and 2" rear blockes so your truck would sit level. Just my $.02 and I hope it helps you out.

or go with fiber glass front fender flares.... it will give you the clearance and a really nice look tuck them big ole 40s...i am gonna do that on mine down the road with my 38/15.50s

they rub on my bushwacker fender flares pretty good, pretty much ruined my front 2 fender flares... and i have 9" of lift...11" of lift is would have cleared them amazing

Fiberglass will definitely look good but its not going to give you any more clearance where you need it. You will need to do some trimming or lift it some more

40's with 5in of lift, that's new to me. I have 40in tires and 22in wheels with a 10in lift and I clear the fenders fine. However if you want to install some bushwacker fenders then you will have some rubbing issues if you turn your wheel and have to flex a little. I have this problem so I'm installing a 2in spacer to take care of the problem, this will give me a total of 12in of lift. I hate to say it but you might have to put a body lift on. IMO the dodge trucks do not look bad with a body lift so you might be pleased.

Did you figure out how to make the 40's fit? Anymore pic's?

Put the Duallys on for now.

I ordered the Top Gun 3in body kit with Gap Guards.
09 models have a different part number.

I also ordered the Front Flare fenders as suggested earlier from Glassworks Unlimited/The Desert Shop


They are pretty excited. Looks like I will be the first true Dually with Singles and their front fenders.


I will post up pics on the fender and paint install.


Seeing the wheels and tires in pics dont do them justice.
In person, they are just too cool to get rid of or put on a smaller tire !

Finally , the last mod will be the GP on the tranny ECU tuning with the larger tires.

ENJOY!

Good stuff. Post some pics when you get the body lift on.

i seen a guy in town a few months ago from wyoming that had 38 1350s on stock wheels with only a leveling kit. it looked really cool but he had to beat the front fender back and cover it with a flare, and when he towed the tires hit the back flares and actually broke them off. your pickup kind of reminded me of it

I just added the fiberglass fenders to my mega dually but run 22.5s for the tire capacity. I think it matches up well with the rear flare. You should get some long control arms though if you haven't already otherwise you may still hit the inner fenders on turned compresssion. The fiberglass fenders are trimmed back about an inch @ that lower fender contact point so that will help some.
