what parts r u adding to get the 12" lift u r looking for? i am about to put the rize on mine. i was also thinking of doing the same thing so i can get 40's. i was going to go with 38/14/24 kumho but i am having a really hard time finding the chrome 24's i want. so i am thinking of going down to a 22 inch wheel with 40's . so keep this thread going because i also want to hear others imputs. come on guys let's hear it.

40's would be way too big!

40"s on the other hand, could be cool.

Just makin' jokes......

black beauty · 03-26-2009, 12:20 AM

im not sure what the guy is gonna add to the lift, he told me it would be easy and inexpensive to add 3 to 4 more inches so we'll see i guess. ill let u know exactly what he does....ppl say now that my tires look to small so im thinkin by addin 4 more inches and only addin an inch and a half inside the wheel well will make the tires look even smaller on such a tall truck. when i get it down ill post some pictures. i guess it would be easy to lower it back down to the oringinal 8" lift if after i get it done and it doesnt look right. although i think its gonna look mean! i hope i dont loose much power by addin the 40's

Black Beauty - what lift are you currently running? I am getting ready to order a set of 37s this weekend to put on my XD wheels. I am seriously debating whether or not I want to run a 6 or 8 inch lift. Just worried that I will have serious vibration problems and all kinds of stuff with an 8" kit. Been looking into stuff from Top Gun Customz and thought about their 8" short arm kit. Thanks man.

if you already have 8" springs, the guy doing the lift is probly just gonna add a 4" spacer on top of your coil...I've done it several times and it works fine

An yes 40"s will clear an look good, you can actually clear a 44"-46" tire with 12" of lift with the right tire wheel combo

Black Beauty - thanks for the input man. I had been leaning towards the short arm kit, but was worried about the ride quality. I had also been geared towards the Toyo MTs but saw and thought about the Kuhmo as well. Saw a Ford with the 37s on 22s at the tire place today. They looked sweet tread wise. What kind of mileage are you going to get out of them. Salesman said 35-40k from 37x13.50 Toyos. Not sure about that. As far as I know I think that Toyo and Nitto are the only ones rocking the 40s though.
