Fresh D1 Build; Need recommendations for lift & tires
OK, so I picked up another D1 locally, 119K miles, zero rust, 2 owner Florida truck
I didn't have a plan at first but now have decided to make into a light wheeler build for my old man I want to get a decent 2-3" lift & tires but don't want to hack up the bodywork or have any rubbing, need input for 2-3" lift and tire setups please!! She will be going on my spare set of black XD wheels, should look good http://i66.tinypic.com/23lxvrq.jpg http://i68.tinypic.com/2vvjtxc.jpg http://i67.tinypic.com/2rmrwud.jpg http://i63.tinypic.com/6s6ufl.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/j16a90.jpg |
Looks like a nice base to build from

I bought it with the potential of being a daily driver but we need another capable truck for the woods, I will do my best to keep it in good shape! |
No lift, nato wheels, 205 85 R16 tires. Done.

Need ground clearance and surface area! |
I guess I'd to whatever AbnMike did. That seemed to work out pretty darn well. :):):):):disco::disco::disco:

If the diameter is the same how does it have a longer foot print?
Also the Camel Trophy teams drove those trucks with zero cares on damage. |
Oh and on the original question, 2" lift from your favorite flavor with new shocks. (Been eyeballing the new Terra firma adjustables. )
The no trim part makes tire size a bit harder. I would look at 265/75 first but I have a feeling that would require a trophy cut on the rear fender well. So I would take a look at a 265/70r16. About a inch shorter and should give zero issues. |
You picked up a stock grey ghost, nice find. Why not Biltein shocks, damper/OME springs. You'll get 2in lift, throw on some tires and you'll have one very capable truck without ruining it.
