Hey guys, i am going to lift my 1998 dak 4x4 this summer and i need some help with this. I am going with a 3" bl and raising the torsion bars. i am wanting to get 15x10 AE 589's. I know that i will have to trim a good bit, but i want my tires to stick on out the side of the truck alot(i love the looks of it). FYI: i will be going offroad very very little. I am also wanting super swamper trxus 33x12.50 tires too.
But my main questions are:
1. how much trimming will i have to do
2. does anyone have pics of their trimming
3. will i have to trim on the rear fenders anywhere
4. will it hurt my dak if i turn the torsions all the way up
5. and if i don't put blocks or anything in the rear, will i have rubbing there if i turn the torsoins
Help me if you can, if not please give some ideas. thanks

first, you WILL have a Sh$t load off rubbing, and i recomend getting a rancho kit as well as a body lift. but i can see if you cant afford both because it took a while for me to buy both. if u arent getting a rancho kit then i would buy some 32x11.5 inch tires. going with 33's will tear up ur tires and ur truck. no i doubt that u will have any rubbing in the back and i wouldnt go up too high with the TB's because u want to have some space and some travel to the bump stop things up in front. u can crank them prolley 1.5 to 2 inches, just look and see as u do it. on mine i have about an inch before i hit the stops. hope this helps, and if u want pics of a 3" susp and 3"body let me know and ill send u some of my truck.

hey evan, if you could, would you send me some of those pics of your truck. and how much better will i be off if i get 32x11.50 tires. and when you measured your distance between your stops, did you measure it when it was jacked up or on the ground. and if anyone would like to would you send me some pics or post a link to some of your pics.thanks
