6 INCH LIFT 38 INCH TIRES

[TOMMYCROW44]

I HAVE A 77 K10 THAT I HAVE PURCHACED A 6 INCH ROUGH COUNTRY LIFT KIT FOR AND SOME 38 INCH SUPER SWAMPER BOGGERS. I WAS WONDERING IF ANY ONE HAS THE SAME SET UP AND IF THEY HAVE RAN INTO ISSUES IF ANY? THE KIT AND WHEELS WILL BE GETTING INSTALLED IN A WEEK AND A HALF.

Mine runs on forties, 38's on 6 inches is tight, depending on how much articulation youre have in your suspension going hard offroad won't be a option. Are you getting all 6 inches from spring lift? If so add a 3' body lift and those tires won't be so angry with the fenders.

SHE'S NOT GOING TO SEE TO MUCH WHEELING JUST MOSTLY CAMPING TRIPS AND AN OCCATIONAL MOUNTAIN SNOW TRIP THE LIFT CONSISTS OF SPRINGS UP FRONT AND 4 INCH BLOCKS WITH AN ADD A LEAF IN THE REAR, IVE HEARD I HAVE TO TRIM THE FENDERS SO IM KINDA WAITING TO SEE HOW MUCH. HAVE YOU HAD ANY ISSUES WITH DEATH WOBBLES?

ALSO IF ANY ONE HAS HAD ISSUES WITH BRAKE LINE RELOCATIONS, THEY HAVE SOME BRACKETS IN THE KIT, ARE THOSE ANY GOOD?

If you are talking about the small bracket at the rear differential...yes it will work. You may have to replace the rear wheel cylinder lines to reach though.

No death wobble here, I have a dana 60 with a 2wd steering box and a crossover steering setup. That type of wobble is associated with improper castor/camber issues (not being aligned right). 38's on 1/2 ton axles are really to much for the stock brake setup however there are alot of people who do it, just make sure you back up your stopping distance. The brake line reroute is pretty straight forward.

[TOMMYCROW44]

How do you post pics it keeps telling me the file is to big?

[Captkaos]

There is a post in the Tech section on how to resize photos to fit.  They need to be a jpg or tiff image and need to be around 800x600 resolution.

I would be extremely surprised if your 6" lift is compatable with 38" tires.

Washington Mud-flap law is that the mudflap must cover the entire width of the tread and come down to the centerline of the axle (I'm in WA too).
