33's

<< < (4/4)

Jake:
I ran a 2" lift with Flexi arches on 33" Simex without any issues.
I never found the need for extended bump stops though
Now back on more sensible 31.5" mud terrains
 :D

why do i have to work on the castor correction, i understand why i need extended bump stops tho! lol

i think a bit of rubbing on full articulation could be lived with as it wouldnt be at full articulation very often really.

The castor correct sorts the steering and axle geometry back to how it was designed to be ie SAFE!
A bit of rubbing is too much. If you are going to do a job right do it properly and dont take chances or cut corners. Down to you really but every time the tyre rubs you run the risk of blowing it and lets face it they aint cheap. The even better reason is if the tyre rubs and deteriorates ( with or without you noticing) you have the potential for a blow out on the road and you dont want to play blow outs with 33's on mate. By the way I used to be a manager for a well known tyre retailer and have seen plenty of damaged tyres blow out. They are after all the only thing between you and the tarmac.

Dont get me wrong I am no winger but seen to many people take very silly chances with their safety instead of spending a few more quid or doing a job properly. Not worth the risk imho

what you said makes a lot of sense. and youre right, it needs to be done properly to remain safe. its not just me on the road... there are other people too.

thanks for all your replies. they have certainly given me food for thought!!
