lift kit

[rockin wagoneer]

hey all i just got a 4 inch lift for my waggy does a 4 inch lift really give u the full 4 inches or no..... and wat size tires can i put under it/

[addicted]

You should get the advertised 4" and then some depending on how bady your current springs are sagging.

31" to 32" tire on a Narrow track wagoneer :thumbsup:

[djongeward]

Is that 31's on a grand wag. I think any more you'll have to cut a bit. I like the look of the 4" best with 31 BFG's

[rockin wagoneer]

ok cause im doing a 4 inch lift and a spring over on the front and moving the spints to under the frame in the back so just with the 4 inch i only can put 32s?

[ThisGuyUKnow]

Im able to get away with 33's on my waggy with a 4'' spring lift they do hit the leafs upfront in tight turns.. I hear that can be corrected with bump stops but my long term plan is to go to Cherk W/T axles so I am just dealing with it for the time being.

[rockin wagoneer]

ok cause i have a j 10 with a 4 inch lift and fit 35s easly so i didnt know im working on my 78 waggy so anything u think i might need to know just put on here thanks

[will e]

you are doing 4" springs and a spring over on the front? That will net you about 10".

[rockin wagoneer]

well i hope i do i`m looking to fit about 36s or so atleast i hope so but in the back im going to make a bracket to drop the springs below the frame to get another 3 or 4 from the back aswell. any ideas on that?

[vintagetrks]

Anything bigger than 32's and you'll probably want to change you gearing. What gears are you currently running? My waggy has 3:08's I believe and I'm running 31's on a 3.5'' Rancho lift and down low she's kin of a dog but does well on the highway.

idk yet and i haven`t gotten into the axles much yet im more worried about getting my 327 running frist.

You might wanna check out some of the old engine threads. I have seen a couple regarding 327's.

[rockin wagoneer]

i started one on the 327 to find some stuff out i have a runnign 360 that came with it but i want the 327 cause its just badass and u dont ver see them anymore.

[vintagetrks]

I think Gambler68 had a thread on the 327 he's building IIRC. I have been told they are very good engines but nothing like the chevy 327's I'm used to.

[rockin wagoneer]

c i know alot about the chevy 327 but they only made the 327 amc for 4 years so i want it cause its so rare

[will e]

ok, so the plan is put the 4" spings on now, get it some tires and do the other mods later? If not, then forget the 31's and go with 35's if they will fit. You might need to trim a little.

[rockin wagoneer]

no im doing all the mods at one go so i dont have to take the lift kit off and put it back on so im just doing it at one go.

the gen1 amc rambler v8 engines 250-287-327 where used from 1956-1967. the rambler 327 is amc's big block.

i dont know why you want to have 11" of lift especially on stock n/t axles. go soa only and cut till you can fit the tires you want.

[rockin wagoneer]

i have a 327 vigilant and im prob changing my gears out to 4:10s

The J-trucks and Cherokees are wide-track and the rear wheelwells are larger than the wagoneers, therefore they can clear a much larger tire.

[rockin wagoneer]

ok

[rockin wagoneer]

how much does a drop pit arm coast?

[Rocket Dog]

I have 33 on a 4" lift, but the rear rubbed so bad that it cut the tire so I had to trim 2". only on full stuff will they hit now
