Gerard, Is the info on http://members.shaw.ca/jbarge/tires.html assuming that the rig has stock suspension? Will a rig with 3" OME need any cutting for 235/85/16? | ||

yes paul. it'll need trimming. but fear not, just do it. Ho Chung | ||

Ho, no fear here! What tools will I need? Will I need 'steering stops and bump stop height'? If so, what are they and how are they installed/adjusted? | ||

metal cutting device. whatever you feel comfortable with. cutting discs, dremel, sawzall, whatever you have most control with. we can discuss the other stuff after you get the tires. Ho Chung | ||

I thought a lot of rover enthusiast had bad experience with $afari Gard. I need second opinion they are just in my neighborhood or else I can go to EE for my DII upgrade. | ||

yeah thats what i meant, safari gard's 3 link system. i think i wanna run 31"x10.5" 15. What size tyre was Mike Peters running on his D1 on the rubbicon dvd and what kind of mod's did he need? How big of a lift does he have? Cheers Jack | ||

Haven't seen Mike around for a while. I believe he was running 33s at that time - now 35s. He has 3" Big Blues with 2" spacers and I think a body lift also. Here you can clearly see the Big Blues: (don't try this at home) http://www.expeditionexchange.com/ics2/DSC02558.jpg  SC | ||

35s can be fit with OME suspension, 2" body lift and *some* cutting...no need to go fancy shmancy on the linking (which will fold on the front). | ||
