Photo chop my truck?

The 2 inch body lift was not too intense... Minor cutting and drilling but overall, just time consuming. I too wanted to go as high as possible but after reading up on the required installation process between the 2" and 3" I ended up going with the 2". Here is the reason why I went with the 2 instead of 3 inch due to my tools at the time and time constraints. Total install took me about a day.

Due to my location and living situation at the time, I needed my B as a daily driver, so I needed the quickest turn around time and least amount of work to get my tuck up in the air, torsion were already indexed up. If going with the 3" there were some issues with it, that the 2" lift would not run into.

Brake lines would need to be replaced with longer ones, the shifter hole in the cab would need to be cut to allow full movement between gears, longer radiator hoses and lowering bracket for it, bumpers would need to be spaced further, (also an issue with the 2" but not as bad) fuel filler neck needs to be extended, larger loss in power(cant have that) and the body roll would be a lot worse with it only an inch higher than the 2" lift.

The 2" lift didn't require me to do any of the above. other than the bumper bracket spacing.

I wish I had the time and tools to do the 3" but I am very happy with the 2". It gives me a good lift and I was able to fit a little taller tire under there. plus I didn't have power steering in it at the time so turning 31's would have been a chore, not to mention the huge loss of power with that large of a tire and the added body roll. I am currently running (*edited tire size) 225/75R15 which come out to around 29" tall and I still have some room to go bigger now that I have power steering, although I don't wanna lose any more power. I am pretty quick (don't laugh) still with the engine upgrades I have done but I have added a lot of weight with the caper shell and truck bed interior. It still handles surprisingly well too. I might go with some 31's the next time I need tires but for now I'll run with what I have, I'm happy with where it sits now.

lol just a nice lil jest but still would be rather neat to see at a show, one lowrider layin frame under your rock crawler b haha. but good luck, and Spacemonkee, i'm running, near you 195/75/14's but i don't want to go any taller in my tire, this would be the 195 correct? and also i want to go a little wider, would 60's be to wide cause if i believe im right but may not be, the smaller the number for your width the thicker the tire?

Tire sizes work a little different than that.

the first number is your width (in mm) and the second is your aspect ratio or sidewall height compared to the width (percentage of width)

so if you had a wider tire with the same aspect ratio they would be taller. There is a formula that will give you the height of your tire.

yours
195/75/14=25.5" tall

mine (im running 225 with typo on my last comment)
225/75/15=28.5" tall

If you want to keep the same height but run wider you will need a lower aspect ration with a wider tire. you can reverse the formula on the forum that i posted the formula on (" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank) and plug in some numbers that will keep your height the same with a wider tire.

depending on the width of your rim you which if you have nissan hard body steelies on there they are around 6" wide i think? So the width of the tire is already wider by about an inch and a half with 195s on there.

If you want to run a wider tire but keep the same height you would be best to run 205/70/14 that would give you a half inch wider and put you at 25.3 so a little shorter overall. The sidewall will angle in a little from the tread to the bead at the rim because the tread is wider than the width of your rim, so that would help save your rim if you hit a curb, or a rock in my case

195mm=7.60 inches wide
205mm=8.06 inches wide
215mm=8.40 inches wide
225mm=8.60 inches wide

Hooray for math!
