Trailmaster lift

Sierra5.3 · May 13, 2002

I just read with a 4 inch trailmaster lift you can use 315x75x16 tires. Can you do the same with Rancho? Would i have to adjust my front end so my tires wont wear irregularly? Also how are the 6-incg true lift from pro-comp.

THANKS

So know one here knows what size tires i'll be able to fit with a Rancho 4-inch lift. No one has a pro-comp 6" lift either. come on guys :sleeping:

Give me a break, I am a slow reader, and there is a LOT of stuff to read out here J/J

Seriously, according to Rancho's website, you can accomodate 33" tires. Pro Comps WEBSITE says the same, but I have definitely seen 315's on a ProComp lift without a body lift.

I have the Rancho and the body lift with 33" tires. I am about to take the body lift off (have been talking about doing it for months), and believe the 33"s will be just right.

What kind of mileage do you get with the 4.10 gears Kaspar? Trailmaster claims you can fit 315x75x16 tires with there 4 inch lift. I know you can fit 285x75x16 tires with out a lift.

I average around 14 mpg with 50-50 highway/city driving. But, on pure highway driving, I get 17. Which isn't too shabby considering.

When I am ready to buy new tires, after I take off the body lift, I am going to see if they will let me "test drive" with 35"s on the truck, and drive around the parking lot or something. Just to verify whether there will be rubbing during city driving. Cuz to be totally honest, if you are reckless enough off road, you can make ANY tire rub ;)

Hi,

My 315's rub only when i back out of my driveway at full turn to the left. ANd only my pass side.

I guess its cuz theres a bump coming off the drive way.

Otherwise, ive been offroad and rubbed only once when i went into a big hole

A body lift would solve my slight problem, but i dont really like BL's. Who knows, maybe later.

HAR HAR

Weeee

DiHappy, that is a bada$$ truck! I have one question... when you were coming out of that water crossing, how did you get up that grade?? It looks awefully tough. Those tires help alot??

Anyway, wherever that is, I wanna give it a try! (Provided it is NEAR Houston, TX!)
