Hey Gang,
If everything goes right, I should have some new parts for my 88.5 Hdtp in a couple weeks. I'm picking up a used Calmini 2" s/r kit and also a set of 31x10.50x15 mud tires mounted on 15x7 rims.
Here's my question: I know I can't put those tires on there with just the 2" s/r, but what if I put on a 1" body lift and did some creative massaging with a BFH? Can I get away with those tires for a while as long as I don't do anything too extreme? I need the truck to function somewhat normally as a road vehicle, but it will be taken offroad a bit, too.
As it stands, unless I can do something relatively cheap and easy like what I suggested above (the 1" body lift) I will be taking the 31s off the wheels and putting on some nice 235/75-15s until I can get some more lift, 3" springs, probably. The stock wheels are going to get a set of studded snows for the winter, which was the original purpose of this trucklet, anyways.
Thanks for any and all suggestions,
