My wife says she likes the 33's and wants some on her 99 burb (2wd)...and so I start to think. I currently have the Rough Country 4" lift kit (springs all around), and was thinking I would like bigger tires too. So if I put my 33's on her rims, and get bigger tires (not sure yet...35 - 38's considered) I know I have some major work ahead.
-For lift, I believe I will add the RCC Shackle flip...giving me another 3 or 4". If I just did the rear hanger of the rear spring , will it be 4" or do I need the front hanger of the rear spring also? I ask because only doing the rear should help with pinion angle.
-To help pinion angle, I want to drop the transfer case (NP20
...but I am unsure of how far I can go (is 3" to far?)
- How badly does that affect my front shaft? Wouldn't too much shim up front mess with the camber? Or hell, would I definately need new shafts? If so, could I cut my rear down and use it for the front and get a new one in back?
-And I would need to re-gear to 4.1's (running 3.23's now). What is involved there. Do I need to change out the carrier (saw a couple of diff posts...some saying yes and no) or will rings and pinions cover it (Dana 44 up front...corp 9.5 in back)
I know it is a lot of info, but I am getting the go ahead...so I need to go before the light turns red. This is a daily driver (somewhat...ride my bike a good bit) that likes to wonder into swamps and mud. I would like 38's in the end, but I think I migth have to scale down a bit...but bigger is better.
Thanks for any info or opinions.
