Title: Lift?
Post by: shadycreationz on April 07, 2009, 09:35:38 AM: I have just recently bought a 96 tracker but the tires are way to small. I was wanting to go to a set of 235/75/15. Do i need a lift kit? if so how much and where can i find a cheap one?

I'm running them with with '95 mustang shocks on 30" BFGs on my daily driver/weekend wheeler, slight hit on MPG and acceleration with the 30s, but worth it for the performance off-road.

Here are his prices:

235 A/Ts will be a huge upgrade over stock. If they do fit I'd still consider Jeffs lift for 2" more ground clearance. 235+2" lift=about 3" more clearance

but if your either living where snow and ice are no where to be seen, or going to run winter tires then go for the bfg's. ive heard and seen them go through alot for an A/T tire. they were going to go on my kick before i found out they suck in the snow (we get lots of snow and ice up here in canada...)

oh and if they fit or not, ive got 235/75R15's Allterrain tires on my kick and only get a bit of rub on the inside tire when turning sharp (going to lock, usually when im pulling into parking spots when the tire flexes over and only in forward direction) simple hammer the rear of the fender a bit, adjust steering stops, or just live with it. ive gotten use to it and just dont turn full to lock, just a bit less
