SFA tire clearance

is there no thread about this started already? or can i just not find it?

i want to run a set of 38x11x15 boggers. all i do is play in the mud a little bit and ride up and down the road. i know, i know, thats a sin. but i love my old truck and i have learned that playin is breakin, and until i can afford to fix the breaks i prally wont play much. rock climbin isnt my thing, mostly because i live in an area that doesnt do that much, anyway. how much lift will my truck need to turn em, safely, no fender trimming or bumper removin or anything like that, wont be too much longer i'll be startin on a full restore.

Your going to need a lot of lift to clear 38`s, i have an 86 4Runner with 37x12.50-15 tires and my lift is 16'' over the stock height of a truck/4Runner for clearance and tire travel. 82 trucks have smaller wheel wells than my 4Runner, so unless you plan on doing a lot of fender trimming i don`t shttp://ee the larger tires fitting to well.

Yeah, if you dont trim the fenders and just lift it then you will end up with one of those homo show trucks.

Bingo.

You can run them with no lift if you trim the CRAP out of the fenders but I wouldn't recommend it - you'll still rub on the firewall.

If your "ass is broke" then why the hell are you modifying your truck with a stupid high lift and giant ass tires?
Not going to tell you what you should spend you money on and what not, but it seems to me that if "your ass is broke" that you should be spending your money on more important things.

you dont have to tubb if you move the front end forward, go that route and you also gain approach angle.

I dont think he cares much about approach angle, he just wants the tires

he also said he didn't want to trim.. so by moving the front end forward he would be able to run bigger tires with less lift/trimming.

on my 81 i fit 35's with no lift, stock steering and no trimming. they rubbed on uptravel but not if you're just going straight. i have about 3.5 in of lift now and i don't rub at all once again without trimming the fenders, only the front trim piece that doesn't belong anyways, helps with the wider axles though
