Re: how much lift needed

10" wheels, no. 8" wheels, might want a zero-rate. I had a 6" lift, 37/12.50 SSRs, and 8.25 wheels I was hoping would fit my '72, but changed direction. My '72 Highlander had 6" lift, 35/12.50s, and 10" wheels and they worked. I figured the extra inch in radius combined with 2" narrower wheel might cancel each other out. But, I had a zero-rate in mind, just in case.

Yers ago, I had a Blazer lifted 7" with 37/13 Swampers and 8" wheels. I romped that thing off road and never rubbed.
