Lifted VX or agressive looking tires...with stock 18" Rims

[jheyson =)]

That is great!! Thanks for the info again.

I may consider those as well.

I think Iam going to go to the 913 Ome springs and the terra trail grapplers 285/65-18.....they are 33"

....and how many turns do I have to do approximately in the front?....

By the way, what is flip ball joint? Do I need for this? Or HD torsion?

Are you sure that those tires aren't too wide for OEM rims? May want to check with your local tire shop before you order them. IIRC the rule of thumb is that tire width should not exceed the rim width by more than 2".

4 complete turns of the Torsion Bar adjustment bolt for each inch of lift.

Ball joint flip isn't needed for the lift but may help out with alignment after the lift. If your alignment shop has a problem then do the flip ... otherwise, leave it alone.

Here's the link for 913's @ Independent 4x but Rocky Road also carries them: http://www.independent4x.com/Isuzu-O...gs-_p_132.html

I had 285/60s on my stock rims before I got my new ones. Tucked into the wheels perfectly. Not sure why that size wasn't OEM in the first place.

I guess it all comes down to "will the shop mount and balance" at that size. There were no questions asked at my shop.

if i could do it all over again i wouldnt lift it but i would put on super chunky tires with the tread coming off the sidewall like the grapplers - makes the vx look like a completely different beast

Here's mine before I switched to MB Chaos 6 wheels.

True Dat. The 285/60R18 is also a bolt-on perfect tire without any lifting when used with the stock OEM 18x7 rims and will give the VX a wide stout hungry appearance. Just mount and go. Done.

Give the Grabber AT2 some serious consideration as a possible tire choice.

I have the General Grabber AT2s on my VX right now, I like them.
