Hey im new around here and i am looking to maybe put a lift on my 2000 jimmy and new tires.

Would any one know what size tires i could fit with a two inch body lift?

Are body lifts worth it or should i just get a suspension lift?

But i would also like to know, what size tires would i be able to fit on my car stock?

I am looking t the BFG revos, are they any good?

 

Also where is the best place to buy upgrades life lifts, and grillgaurds?

 

Any help someone can give me would be greatly appreciated

 

Thanks a lot

hello Jake,

What do you plan on doing with your rig once you get it lifted? If you plan on doing any wheeling at all, I would skip both the body lift and the Revo's.

 

A body lift is somethng that I do not recommend to anyone, unless it is a 1" to clear gas tank skid plates. A good suspension lift may cost more but will pay dividends in the end. Body lift pucks can shift, crack, and even collapse. I experienced this once in my 84 BroncoII, in which case it shattered every window in the rig. :chevy:

i will be doing a little off roading once and a while.

What is a good place to buy suspension lifts, and what is the smallest lift you can get? cause i dont want to jack it up to much.

Also you said to skip the revos, what tires do you recomend?

 

last question, i really need new tires soon so how can i find out what size tires my truck can fit?

 

 

thanks a lot guys

Jake

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
