FSJ tech heads required
« on: May 10, 2011, 10:17:43 PM »
So, after trawling the interweb and gettin various answers im puttin my money on you lot offerin a modicum of sense ( :eusa_doh: ) with the following train of thought:

wide track 1979 Chief, stock, will it fit 33x12.50s and still behave with all round civility that it is currently blessed with?

and would a front shackle lift of 1" and a rear block unduly affect the aforementioned civility?

and with that teeny lift do I have to enter into a world of shims etc?

I most definately havent asked this one before

there must be a comprimise as a 4" lift on a Chief leaves room for 35's if its just road use, i have seen one and driven it, so 33's should be able to come under that amount of lift

looks like its a 7" SOA then instead  :003:

My blue thing had 3" blocks at the back and a combination of add a leaf plus coil over booster shockers at the front giving about the same lift.

Dunno if any of this was a purpose made kit or just cobbled together.

You could ask on the IFSJA but I wouldn't expect much sense from them.

It ran 33/12.50/15 on standard chrome jeep 8 spokes.

I'd guess it was never used on rough terrain at all judging from the chrome side drag pipes fitted and blacked out windows.

More of an on road poser TBH

I have tried a few times to get sense out of ifsja and i think there is a language barrier  :003:

looks like it stays stock then until I can afford a decent sized lift - bollox  :011:

in the meantime, is it ok to put 31x10.5 tyres on a 15x10 wheel?
