What lift have you guys done to get 33's under them?

Anyone running OME suspension?

Sorry for the cross jack, some great trucks in here.

Here is my Mu I have done a 75mm lift and I can fit 33's quite nicley, but I think you can get away with a 50mm lift.

Hi Drurban, is that a body lift you have done?

Any suspension lift? What size are the rims and tires?

Cheers

Hi Mattman,

That is body lift and I have OME shocks all round I had after market leaf springs but I managed to break one so I have gone back to the original ones, I do have another set of second hand springs which I have reset and have had an xtra leaf put in plus 50mm lift added.

Cranked the front torsion's up, which I need to lower just a tad.
I have 15x8 ROH Steel rims with KT71 Khumo 33's x 10.5 tyres.

All the details on mine are in that other thread I think

Would imagine a 75mm body lift is quite a bit more work than a 50mm lift :)

Hi Mattman,

Sorry for the delay, Iam going to have a guess maybe a 20 offset but Iam not 100% sure on that, I just asked for the most popular offset, I got the rims at a place called Motortech in the Northshore in Auckland.
