33's

[nj720]

so i have 33's for my 1985 720 that i want to put on tomorrow. i have wheel spacers so the tires are a little further out. i also cut the wheel wells out. is anything going to get f*** up when i put my 33's on tomorrow?

[nj720]

and yeah its a 4x4

So long as its stock ride height, it should be fine. 4x4's usually have enough clearance for 33's. There is possibility of rubbing when turning, but nothing too concerning.

i wont have problems with moving like power wise?

[PEZi]

well... that depends on the health of your engine. A lot of people notice a lack of acceleration due to heavier tires and more circumference, but so long as you are making a halfway decent power it should be ok. A lot of people do seek more power after doing bigger tires, though.

I don't know if should build up the z24 or if I should put a chevy 350 in because I can get one for $300. But I don't know about how the transfer case would work. I saw a thread of someone doing the swap but it was 2wd and I want to keep the 4x4. Plus where is the best site to get a cheap but decent suspension lift kit at? I have so much I want to do that I have just been pondering about and not actually doing it because I second guess it all haha

I know a few guys have done lift kits, but I can't recall how or where they got the stuff from. Lowering them is simple, I can only assume raising them is too. Mainly its just cranking on the torsion bars, and in the back I think so long as the leafs are above the axle the blocks are nice and simple to raise it up, just the reverse of lowering.

with 33s you'll probably chew through front end parts as fast as you can install them
