lifted gmc jimmy

[bkroll84]

I have a 2001 gmc jimmy that's been sitting for 2 years in garage. So finally decided to make it my toy hauler. I just bought a 2.5 lift kit steering stabilizer .just need to figure out if I'm going 31 or 33 tires

33 is the max on those front axle housings. They are WEAK! Just sayin.

Sounds killer!!! Does it have the 4.3 in it?? I would go 33's for sure.

 

[bkroll84]

yep 4.3 cold air intake its a beast got a new truck went in garage and sat lol its time for it to live again. Alex the steering stabilizer is for that reason bigger tires

33s with those gears will not run good on the streets. Either change gearing, or stick with 31s If its just trail do 33s

Sorry, but a steering stabilizer won't do **** for a exploded aluminum housing front axle housing. :tdown:
Unless it has a steel Dana Turdy five

Awesome. Super sweet build.

I just go with a 3" body lift an some more aggressive tread tires!

 

[bkroll84]

Already purchased kit

 

[alex456123]

Go with a t/s (torsion/shackle) lift and put on some aggressive looking but road friendly 33s on there. Just have to be careful of the front axle when you off road it (if you ever do)
Is it a 2 or 4 wheel drive?

 

[geeessfore]

Shackles are junk. I can help you we will build a custom leaf pack.

 

[alex456123]

Hey whatever gets the job done! Lol

 

[bkroll84]

4wd but the rough country 2.5 inch lift

[bkroll84]
