[wayoflife]

Definitely keep us up to date as we're eager to hear all about it :yup:

 

[Franck]

thx a lot Wayalife !
now .... where to begin ?
what would be your best advices for this trip ?
we're goin' on a 9k miles trip ... mixing on and off road ........
any idea is welcome

first mod : 3 inches lift and 33" Mickey Thompson tires ...

ANY advice is more then welcome

cheers
the cheetahs

 

[Robar]

Just my opinion, but a 3" lift is a lot for 33" tires.

 

[Franck]

mmmm i will see what it looks like ... but i'm afraid of going "too much" with 35" :thinking:

 

[Robar]

A leveling kit or 2" lift is more than enough for 33" tires. Some lifts, like TeraFlex, give more lift that advertised lift. A TF 3" lift often yields about 4". I have no problems with a good lift, but some 3" lifts and 33" tires might make you JK look like a roller skate.

 

[Franck]

K, point understood so we're goin' with 35"
any other advice regarding what we SHOULD do on the baby to be ready for the trip ?
