Re: Tire / Lift size chart 67-72 (WILL IT FIT?)

Okay so we know what fits but when it doesn't how much cutting and where!

For example I'd like to run 38X12.5's on my 1st gen with just 6" of suspension lift. I plan on wheeling it as hard as I need to. Seems like I might get away with just a little bit of cutting but where and how much is the real question?

The "chart" in the first reply in the thread would be good to see for all size tires by lift.

Like:

38's w/4" = cut 1" off the front and XX off the rear
38's w/6" = cut 2" off the front andd xx off the rear


I guess we'd need to know if we need to cut 2" off the front and 2" off the rear or the FRONT

How high up do you need to trim the 2" up to as well.
What about the inner fender...

geez this is complicated!


FYI: the guy 2 posts before this has a GREAT example of what to chop off!
