Uh-Oh . . . too Low
Just set the 34 chassis on the ground. Must've made a mis-calculation. I don't have a scrubline problem, but the oil pan and the center of the front axle are only 3.5" off the ground. There's no way the axle is going to hit a speed bump, but the pan is starting to look a little nekked.
Front tires are 205/50-R15 (23"tall)
I think I'm going to a 225/70 (27.4" tall), which will give me 6" under the front axle and 5.5 under the pan. That also gives me room to adjust my front coil-overs down a bit. They're cranked up too high now anyhow - trying to gain clearance. If I bring the shocks down an inch, the pan clearance goes to 4.5, and the front axle stays at 6"
Check the photo for how high the shocks are cranked up.
Whadda ya think?
By the way . . . is there an easy way to get rid of Raised White Letters?Last edited by Henry Rifle; 10-01-2004 at 04:14 PM.
