roscoe1129 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 You can go as low as you have the time/money for fabrication to go that low.

roscoe1129 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 No way in hell. any suv is gonna have to be tubbed to lay frame on big wheels. So a big stereo Like Steves would not work. It would have to be fabbed around all the tub work.

BAGGEDBIRDS.com Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 there would be a nice sized step in the floor also and the tubs would be pretty wide. With that size wheel the rear end would most likely need to be narrowed. Usually a 26 is 10" to 11" wide.

sully Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 My 03 f150 with a 06 expedition front clip had to have the inner fenders removed, firewall tubbed a little and the brake booster removed (replaced with hydroboost) to create clearance for 26"s, even then i have to run such a small tire that the ride will be hell. When we mocked it up with the 26's it looked awesome but I haven't decided what to do wheel wise yet since i have a perfectly good set of 22's that I am waiting to wear the tires out on first. 24's are prob what is going on it so i can have more sidewall on the tire for ride quality. You have to think about the hood as well. I could run a good tire on a 26 if i tubbed the hood but that looks horrible so you have to measure from the frame to the top of the hood to see the max combined height of wheel and tire can be without sticking out of the hood. Also look to see what hangs below the frame if you want it to lay out. I had to replace the tranny crossmember to lay out all the way.

00sdime00 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 There is a lot of work involved in laying frame on big rims that most people dont see...not only are the tubs going to be pretty big, but you also may have to cut into the rear doors to get a large rim like that to fit. Also your notch cover in the rear will take up a lot of space. Then there is the problem of relocating a bunch of stuff up front...Lots of work involved. I just saw your PM and figured I would reply here instead... Quote A half-wit gave you a piece of his mind, and you held on to it.

I just saw your PM and figured I would reply here instead... That is right, the stock wire harnesses that came thru the firewall on my p/u had to be relocated, the battery is between the frame rails behind the front bumper now, almost lost the cruise control cause of space. Nothing is as easy as it looks, when you get into wheels over 22"s then all the "vehicle specific" kits have to be highly modified just to work. I would say get it done at Ekstevsive, Killer Ridez or IF Custom if you want it right the first time. Steel braided air lines or copper line is the best way to go but it gets very expensive and time consuming. Look under the vehicle and see just how much room you have to work with in the back for compressors, tanks and valves, you won't want them inside the vehicle with you. I will see if i can get some pics of my front suspension while i have it apart to show you just how much modification I had to do to lay out and still be able to drive comfortably.
