M1009 4inch Lift - Tires Wheels Bolt Pattern Offset???

[DaveDawson]

The wheels are the 16.5 US Wheels from Jegs. No trimming needed, it has a lot of clearance. Stock M1009 axles.

What lift did you use?

The 4 inch lift that I used was from Rough Country, came with shocks.

With rough country you won't need to worry about it flexing as much as bds, ord, or tuff country.

4" BDS Lift. BFG Mud Terrains 35x12.5x15 on the stock rims. No rubbing on anything.

Looks great. How do you like the ride of the BDS lift? How about the feel of the bigger tires?

Thanks! It rides great. It flexes great. The tires are awesome off road. No fender cutting and no rub! All 4x4s of this era handled like crap, but the big tires just magnified the problem. Don't get me wrong, other than the road handling I love the whole set up. I may see about adding a sway bar in the back that I can detach when I off road. I am definitely going to replace the steering box. That may solve the problem. The rest of the steering components are tight.

4" really is the perfect size (that's what she said). My ORD lift is 4" and my experience has been a little different. I removed my sway bar and my m1009 handles awesome on the road without it. I'm also running 33x12.5 tires but mine rub just a tad when I'm getting flexey.
