bober47 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I am ready to try taller tires on my truck and willing to cut stuff out of the way for a proper fit. Are there any alignemnt problems to consider? Bob tucson Az Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I don't think you'll be able to fit 33's without any lift no matter how nuts you go with a sawzall! Most people here are running 6+ inches of lift along with fender trimming to clear something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 You can clear 33"s no problem with a little bit of trimming, a coil/t-bar crank lift and a 1"-2" body lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bober47 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 what if i don't get new torsion bars or lift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Well you don't need new t-bars to crank them up But I'd say that your going to have CRAZY amounts of rubbing with no lift. Theres only so much fender you can cut away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bober47 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 appreciate the advice. Going the tire shop and see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC88Pathy Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 As mentioned cranking torsion bars doesn't require new t-bars. Read in the garage for the how to on adjusting the t-bars. I also say you are going to have a heck of a time getting them to fit. You might be able to get them to fit just barely, but you will have severly limited flex off-road.

tbecktold Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I agree, definitely gonna need a lift for those tires. I've seen a 93 XE with that size tire on the stock 6" wide rim, he used a bl with a little taller coils and a tbar crank and had very minimal trimming. Just an FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 You might be able to get them to fit just barely, but you will have severly limited flex off-road. Probably wouldn't do much good on-road either -- I forsee problems when turning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Exactly. No go unless you severely Sawzall the fenders and then expect your steering to fail immediately thereafter... Here's the difference between a 31x10.50 and a 33x10.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bober47 Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) Thank you for the execellent photo comparisons and advice. Makes me wonder just how much flex I have now with me 31's like when going off road how close do the tires come to the upper wheel wells? There's a guy on cardomain.com called "hillclimber" with an amazing pathfinder, extremely modified! Oh well, I'll keep dreaming of being higher! My truck does fine the way it is.......for my adventures. Bob Edited March 6, 2006 by bober47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 With my 31s and slight lift (JGC coils)I have rubbed the top of the rear wheel wells. In the front my bumpstops are large enough that I haven't done the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInstaller Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Here is a shot of my Pathy with t-bar crank and 1" spring spacers tucking my BFG A/T 31x10.50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
