Need Tire/lift Advice

[karlairey]

Hey All...



I am considering 37x12.50R18 Dynapro MT, for my '05 SUT.

The price is right ($240 with BFG AT trade-in) and I found some great reviews here:

Dynapro Review



I will be installing the Readylift Torsion Keys:

Torsion Keys

(Khamul - call Innovative Autoworx in Calgary @ 403.242.2767 - they have stock)



4 questions I have... <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... ey-013.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wtf:' />



1. I will be buying new rims. What is the offset I will require?

2. Will a 37" on an 18" rim fit well, with a 2 - 2.5" lift?

3. Will the rear Air Bags inflate high enough to balance out with the lifted front?

4. Any rear lift ideas for the Air Ride suspension?



Thanks for any help you can offer! <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... >/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

I don't know this particular tire, but I know Hankook is a good name.



As for the keys.... go with the Suspension max - better explained to me today and they are definitely the ones to go with - only a few more bucks..



The rear air ride will raise a maximum of 2" so they will balance out nicely.... only thing I would suggest is maybe crank the bars until you swap out the airride as I don;t think there is any way to raise that. That way if you ever want to lower the back end - you can do it by turing the bars back.. something to think about but the keys are the better way to do it - but permanent.

Too late bro... already bought the Keys. I guess I could hold off on install tho - until I figure out the rear raise. Have to learn how to 'crank the bars' I guess!



How about the offset on my rims I should be looking for... ?

[Khamul]

They sound soo much better so if you can return them - I would, but second to the Suspension Max - readylift is the best in my books....



The rims I want are a -12 offset. I was told that stock rims are +15 so that should bring them out nicely. You could go with a -20 if you want a bit wider...

Cool man. Mine are -15 I believe.

I'm getting PUMPED about our Trail Ride coming up the 5th!!!

Looking forward to seeing everyone again <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... SMILEY.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':woot:' />

-15 - right smack in the middle so I'd say perfect!!



I've started saving again so maybe by the July run - I'll have my first set of mods done.
