How should I go about getting these tires n wheels to clear
      #1225921 - 10/18/10 04:47 AM

So, currently, I have some chevy offset enkei 15x12 wheels with some 33inch 12.5ish tires. Front what I see, I will have some issue when I starting getting serious articulation on the rear end. I dont know if I should try a hockey puck lift, or maybe try a shackle lift. What do you guys think? Here is a decent sid epic tog et an idea of how it's sitting right now. I also appear to have a bit of sag on the rear leafs.

If you decide to go the shackle route, I have a lightly used set (they look new) available.

fwiw, I would lean towards a body lift if i were running wheels with that offset, but i haven't run anything with tires sticking out that much before.

Fwiw, I was able to run 35's with a 2" bl and rear shackles to help out with the rear leaf spring sag. There was a couple times when it would hit, but nothing drastic. If u c@an upgrade to the Old Man Emu leaf springs do it, will make a huge ride diffrence.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I will be doing both.
