I'm restoring a 92 2wd longbed. I have a set of 30/9.5's I want to put on it but I'm getting a little confused with the lift I need to achieve the look and stance I'm after. I found a picture of exactly what i'm trying to get to and the writeup that went with the picture said
4" spindles/2" shackles, American Eagle 58 15x8, Offset -30, Backspace 3.3, Federal Couragia MT 30" x 9.5", Suspension Lift 4".
I'm just a bit confused on lift options. To make it even more confusing, I'm swapping in a 302 so the front is going to be heavier and the writeup didn't mention anything about their engine choice. I'm probably going to do a body lift to help create space for the motor swap also.

So my two questions are: If I have a truck, a v8, 30" tires and a body lift what else would I need to do to level and lift it like I want; And do those rim numbers sound right?

Thanks


My truck unmolested



The look I want

I guess a lot of that depends on which end the V8 is on. If its in the bed that might level the truck on it's own.

He gets a bit pissy because he is above all of us so we are asking stupid questions. I got used to it. The look you want would be 4-6 inch lift maybe a body lift and 31-33 tires. Good luck with your upgrades.
